So, I have been looking all over for info about Tim Day. Because I was wondering why the Missing Persons Squad is continuing to be lead investigators in this homicide.
It appears that Tim Day is previously from the Homicide Squad. I have found lots of articles where he has been spokesperson in the media about various homicide cases. Up until 2011, as far as I can see.
Cases involving domestic assault, murder-then-a-fire, fatal stabbing, a case where family threatened reprisals (not against the police) after a shooting murder.
From a relevant book about a case - Portland hair salon murder - Tim Day also tried his hardest to get permission and encourage other police to publicly talk about a case, as he felt it could only help them with the case. His requests were denied.
In 2004, Tim also orchestrated an elaborate sting (along with another officer) to ensnare the rapist and murderer of a 6-year old girl in a cold case from 1982. They caught the guy, and he was finally made to face justice.
