She didn't know the suspect's name because he was from Minnesota, right across the river.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Dru herself from Minnesota? Pequot Lakes, to be precise?
And if he was on a national registry (which he was, because his name is in the NSOR), what good would that have done? He was a total stranger, and could have just as well have been from Alabama as Minnesota as far as Dru was concerned.
Because there was a state line in the way, residents of grand forks weren't made aware when he was let out of jail...

And I guess nobody in Minnesota was notified either? Like Dru's parents?
The proposed "Dru's Law" makes zero mention of community notification across state lines, and says only that the AG of the releasing state has to be notified. Even if it did, how will anybody ever keep up with the hundreds of changes and releases on a weekly basis nationwide? And how on Earth will they remember all those new faces? And all the prior notifications in the world won't help when that releasee gets in the car and drives 200 miles across the state to some other city and does their deed.
So this will help how...?
I don't dispute that he was bad. After all, he was a two-time offender who had just done 23 years. Sounds an awful lot like Jesse Timmendequas to me. We don't need Dru's Law. We need judges with the cojones to sentence people like this to life without parole. But that would be too easy, and wouldn't unfairly affect thousands of others who are not at risk. And politicians don't get re-elected on the coattails of strict judges. They get re-elected on feel-good legislataion. Thank God the House has a bit of common sense and sees the fallacy and redundancy of Dru's Law.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
