No agency ever puts dozens of investigators on one case, it's just not done.
They only assign two lead detectives to a murder case, and these are the ones going around interviewing people, chasing tips and leads, writing reports, etc. Nobody ever really thinks about the work that goes into these investigations, it is just not as simple as it looks on t.v. They work on adrenaline with 4 hours or less of sleep, sometimes for days or weeks. And still people complain about the lousy jobs they do when a case isn't solved in a few days. :banghead:
That's a good question. My answer is, you don't have to BE anything beyond being the ex of an angry, bitter woman who obviously hates your guts.
I'm not saying this is who or what she is, because I don't know her. I'm just saying that there are women in this world who have come out of a bad marriage, so bitter and angry that they believe the ex is capable of anything, including murder. Put that together with a child missing, and it's not unusual that she could think that. But it doesn't make it true.
I agree. BUT... my guess is that he couldn't return those texts and calls because LE was questioning him at the time they were made. Only a guess, mind you, but the first step in the investigation is usually to talk to the parent who last saw the child. These 'talks' usually lasts for hours, and they don't allow them to have phone contact with anyone during these interrogations. They might assign an officer to monitor the phones, in case the child should call.
But after she made the statement that she wouldn't put it past him to "get rid of him", my guess would be that he didn't want to be yelled at and accused of killing his son. Who wants to answer the phone and be yelled at? Maybe this is always how she talked to him, who knows? And that again, is not slamming her, she wouldn't be the first ex-wife who yelled at their kids' father every chance she gets. Some of them for good reason!

Questioning if LE is competent is a valid question. Little small towns don't have the resources that bigger towns do and also they don't have the experience in really serious crimes. HOWEVER once the FBI entered the scene, any incompetence potential went out the window IMHO. I think that is why FBI goes to help smaller jurisdictions. They bring in their knowledge, tools, testing supplies, resources to help the small LE department get everything they need. So without FBI involvement I would wonder about the investigation being botched but I don't think it's an issue anymore,,if it ever was an issue. And honestly it's not the fault of a small town pd that they have no experience in homicide or kidnapping investigations. Its' actually a good thing. It means they run a tight ship and keep their community safe ! my two cents
