How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years

A Herndon woman was killed in a hit-and-run case just after midnight Tuesday, and all signs at the scene directed police to seek out her husband as a possible suspect.

A woman was killed when a car hit her Tuesday night in a residential parking lot in Herndon and drove away.
"Nothing came up in the investigation to indicate there were any issues between the two of them," Lt. Thunman said.
The car had obviously been moving at a high rate of speed when it careened head-on into a parked car, propelling that car to strike three other parked vehicles, Lt. Thunman said.
