Maybe it would help if I explained my thoughts better. The FBI can only participate in an investigation at the request of the local LE, right? IIRC there was only one FBI agent assigned to this case but more in the role of a suggestion,reference position but never allowed to lead any of the involved investigations. Right? From the information listed in the warrant, LE has had this information for sometime. So, why are they just now obtaining those SW's? Recently, I ran across an article, don't at the moment have the link but will go search out, that involved a lawsuit judgement against the police force and IIRC the mayor. Just off the top of my little brain but isn't that community interconnected to everybody? If so, how does the line get separated when there is a crime to be investigated. How is such a small police force managing the many RSO's around their community? What degree of confidence does the community have in their LE?
That's sorta where my thinking is coming from. It seems that Lindsey's abduction has resulted in other issues that perhaps need a closer look into.
That's all.
Novice Seeker, & No, I'm new to all of you so HELLO, forgive my manners
Hi Novice Seeker, I do remember reading {link?} that the FBI agent brought down from Seattle was put in charge of the case. Now that could be as far as the FBI goes and their involvement and not overall.
We do know how the FBI works. They come to a town, do their own investigation, give advice like profiling info to the local police, are on call for any assistance the local police need like in searches and then they bow to the local police with relationship to arrests, etc.
I have the notion the investigative force with the GHSD is top notch. We know of our poster friend here, Coldcaseman, who retired in 2007 and solved every case he worked on in his career except for two cases. He still works on those cases now in his retirement! I don't think he is the exception to the rule. If leadership were poor in the SO I would think he would have transferred to another LE force dept in the area, but he didn't. IMO
