Inside the Jerry Sandusky investigation - why did it take so long?

"It was completely mishandled," one source close to the investigation told The Patriot-News. "I know these investigations take time, some of them, but someone should have been on this day and night from the beginning because of the severity" of the allegations..

"Assuming Sandusky was aware, for a few years, of the investigation, then he would have had plenty of time to destroy potentially incriminating evidence," said Beth Karas, a former prosecutor, and current correspondent for "In Session" on the truTV network.

Karas said she also can't think of a reason why they wouldn't warn The Second Mile about the investigation much earlier.
