This morning Chief Eliot Isaac will present city council with the final report. Many questions should be answered - but some may remain a mystery if pieces of the investigation are withheld from the public, according to our partners at WCPO.

Plush became trapped and suffocated in a van despite calling 911 twice on April 10. The 911 dispatcher was placed on leave after the death, but returned to work the next week.
