KHOU's Jeff McShan had a much-publicized interview with Quanell X last night — and despite the indication that it would show us who Quanell X really is, we don't know all that much more now than we did before.

Police should have told residents all along that there might be more than one person responsible for the murders, they say, and the cops should stop using the investigation as an excuse for intimidating the innocent.
