"It's been nearly a year since the brutal attack on former Seventh Judicial District Judge Thomas Fitch, and there are still no arrests.\"No witnesses have come forward giving us solid information as to a possible suspect,\" New Mexico State Police Lt. Robert McDonald said.On Aug. 5, Fitch's office in Socorro, across from the Walmart, turned into a crime scene. Ever since, this has been a tough case to crack.\"There's no video, surveillance, anything like that to help us in this case at all,\" McDonald said.State police believe the attack happened between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. They said the attacker or attackers hit Fitch several times in the head, but still won't talk about the weapon.\"Stuff can happen,\" McDonald said. \"The weapon can be destroyed, they find other ways to try to hide things. So at this point, we just can't release that information.\"Medics rushed Fitch to University of New Mexico Hospital.Investigators said his family is living in fear and in hiding.On Thursday, Fitch's loved ones broke their silence and released a statement about his condition: \"He has recovered as well as can be expected considering the severity of the injuries.\"Now with this case being featured on Crimestoppers, investigators hope the chance of earning the reward money will help.\"If there's somebody out there that did this, and we're going to find them,\" said McDonald.In 1976, an Albuquerque police detective teamed up with KOAT to reenact a murder, and Crimestoppers was born.Since then, it's paid out about half million dollars to anonymous callers.If you have any information on the attack in Socorro, call 843-STOP."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
