If you ever google the guy that will show up in the local paper
section for a long, long time.

I'm not so sure about that.

My mother was killed in a rather spectacular car crash in January 2005
and there were zillions of Google hits at the time. I was interviewed
by 3 reporters that week and I can assure you that it was no picnic.
(They were fair and I knew they were doing their job but still...)

I checked about two weeks ago and nada.

So don't make that assumption - I'm assuming by "for a long, long
time" you mean longer than 3 1/2 years...

No problem - it's old news now.

After 3 1/2 years you either have to deal with it or blow one's
friggin' brains out.

I'm sorry she won't be there for my eldest's college graduation next
year but one goes on. One simply has to.

My point though stands - her passing was rather spectacular and got
quite a lot of press coverage which was reflected in Google.

Now - nada.

So don't count on news stories of yesteryear staying on line forever.
