65. "perhaps ..." means you've been left guessing

May 2013

The reporter should say they've refused to discuss it. There is better reporting on the NBC blog - at least we know the police chief has been contacting multiple state officials:

He's far angrier that no one in the government has stepped up to the solve the dilemma. He blasted state officials for offering to bury Tsarnaev at a prison site and then reneging without explanation.

His calls to officials at the city, state and federal level have yielded no answers. Earlier this week, both the State Department and the Massachusetts governor said they would not intervene to find a final resting place in the U.S. or abroad.

They have now found an undisclosed burial place, which sounds like it might be the site the retired teacher offered, because his mother taught him to 'love thine enemy": http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/09/18146975-burial-spot-found-for-boston-marathon-bombing-suspect-tamerlan-tsarnaev?lite
