Default USA - NTSB Final Reports Question

Does any reader know how someone learn in a timely manner when the NTSB
has released a final report of an accident investigation? Searching
their site hasn't revealed the answer to me. I'm interested either in
gaining visibility into their 'output queue' or alternatively simply
being able to learn when something pops into the public domain without
being dependent upon media outlets.

Any help appreciated!

Regards,
Bob W.

P.S. If 'local legend' is correct, the NTSB online-database isn't
complete, based upon being unable to find any reference to a fatal
1-26/powerplane mid-air I've more than once been told occurred at the
Boulder (CO) airport landing pattern ca. 1972. I believe(d) the rumors
because: 1) in the tales I heard, the glider pilot - a club member -
died, and 2) the alleged accident had happened 'recently' (5 years
before my arrival on the local scene). Furthermore, another
verbally-conveyed fatal glider accident from ~the same time period
*does* appear in the database.
