but he believes there are more who know what happened to Elijah because there were more than 200 people at the house party the night Elijah died.Segal said he believes the witnesses are just scared to talk to the police.'There's probably fear of retribution for attending that party, and we're having a hard time with young people coming forward to share what they know,' Segal said.
