I would definitely come forward, and very quickly. I could be saving others' lives by doing so, and endangering lives by not doing so. If I knew something about a situation like that, I would feel it is my responsibility to tell the police what I knew, in order to help them do their job of holding the murderer accountable, and of protecting society. I also agree with what mannliz, Paladin, Naninda, and Spiritual Gunslinger have said.
As for my family, I would have to trust God to protect them. "For God has not given to us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and a sound mind." (II timothy 1:7) I would not let fear stop me from doing the right thing.
What would Jesus do?

I would take all possible precautions to protect my loved ones, but I'd make sure to report the murder and give testimony at trial to help insure justice. Justice is in everyone's best interest. If I do not do my part to insure justice, then I cannot expect others to do theirs, and next time the crime may be one committed against myself or my family.

Yes, my family grew up knowing that with responsibility comes risk. Risk to me is not, I know the same as risk to my family, however, still in the long run, it would be worth it to put an animal behind bars. Or into the death chamber.

Yes I would come forward!!! No two ways about it!!.. I would HOPE the justice system would protect my family. (May be wishful thinking, but you know you gotta believe) I would believe that my Lord Jesus Christ would keep me safe and wrap my family in His loving arms away from harm!

For me...Character is defined as what a man does when no one is looking.
As a Christian, I want to always remember nothing I do is not unseen by the King.
So, when in a tough situation, I have to ask myself how I'm going to answer My King when asked the same questions I'm trying to dance around.

This question is hazy, but I would contact FBI or other reliable source for help and NOT the police!

Yes. If ethics are only right when it's easy, then they're not ethics, they're codes of convenience.
