I was shocked to see that although her body was found Wednesday, the autopsy wasn't conducted until Friday. That's too long. Also, police should never had announced they assumed she died from a drunken accident, or that she worked as an escort, they should have kept their mouths shut.
I think there are some officers get very cynical and burnt out with all the drug-related behaviour they see, and should be moved somewhere else.
I don't agree that the police should have physically searched for her body: they had no reason to believe she was nearby, she could have been anywhere, including no longer in town, or in someone's home.
Plus, in a downtown area teeming with people, why should police spend their limited resources physically looking around for bodies? Much better for them to use their ability to get hold of video footage and try to track her movements that way. It's so unusual for there to be a publicly accessible location to hide someone, where apparently no one, including the owners, ever visits. I think it's unreasonable to say, in hindsight, they should have looked there. The one time police conducted a massive physical search, for Miriam M, they missed her.
