Fading interest in QB investigation
Roughly three weeks ago, Milledgeville was teeming with national media outlets like TMZ, ESPN, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Pittsburgh Tribune and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, all hoping to report on two-time Superbowl winner Ben Roethlisberger’s fate.
Currently the investigation is still ongoing with little definitive progress. ESPN and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review have stated that there is little physical evidence to propel the case forward.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has withdrawn its DNA request for Roethlisberger and Capital City’s video surveillance is now non-existent. The Milledgeville Police Department is still in the process of conducting investigations into the exact nature of the case.
The GBI announced that the videotapes from Capital City with segments of Roethlisberger on them were recorded over leaving the GBI and MPD with little to no visual evidence.
National news sources are all in a wait-and-see mode with the ongoing investigation of the sexual assault on a GCSU student. No charges have been made against the Pittsburgh Steeler’s quarterback.
Locally, Capital City’s manager, Rocky Duncan, said that there will be new security measures taken for the club, but could not comment in detail about the exact aspects just yet. One new security aspect is certain in Duncan’s opinion.
“No more celebrities in the club,” Duncan said.
Duncan also said that he had not noticed a change in attendance following the incident.
Milledgeville’s Chief Woodrow Blue was unavailable for a comment on the current status of the case.
So far it is a waiting game to see what authorities will find as the investigation continues.
