It is strange to me that people will criticize the handling of any case they are not personally involved in. I disagree with a lot of what has been said regarding how Law Enforcement is handling this case. I firmly believe that the statements they made to the press at the start of this case stating that they have no reason to link the previous rapes. Why would they release that information to the public without something concrete to back it up?
Also the idea that they brought the FBI in too late is laughable. For the FBI there are many different parameters that go into them even consider getting involved in a case.
The perfect example of the second guessing and casting judgment on LE is in the first thread about this case. There was a lot of speculating that the roommates had something to do with her disappearance or that it was an overdose etc....
I am not saying that Law enforcement is always right, but I have personally seen good people trashed in the media and had their careers and reputations put into question by people who only have half of the story.
I personally think that investigators eat a lot of crap, from people who don't know any better, but I can promise you that every single detective involved in this case are at it night and day and most likely suffering from the stress of not finding her yet...
I don't want to get into a big huge argument here and I think that tossing around ideas is a great thing, but I just don't think that any of us has the experience or the right to second guess the professionals who are looking at the case with a lot more information and tools than we have.
One more thing and I will step off my soap box, I am a 30 year old male, and I will tell everyone now that the shaving thing is not uncommon at all and I think the only reason that LE is saying anything about it is that they are hoping that the fact that the baby shoe means that there is someone close to him who would put two and two together. I know that the shaving has nothing to do with anything other than most of us who do shave or trim do it because it looks better and at least feels cleaner....
