I do not think WPPD is incompetent. I think they made the best of a horrific set of players. In order to search, other than an obvious walk through, looking for signs of an obvious struggle, robbery, or pools of blood, they had to have a PROBABLE CAUSE WARRANT.
After the walk through there were no obvious signs. The Barreth’s have no authority to have the police search their daughter’s home. The PROBABLE CAUSE didn’t exist until KK started talking. Had KB’s body, a weapon, anything tied to KB’s home been found they could have gotten the warrant. Had it been searched without a warrant all evidence would have been thrown out of court.
We should be thankful LEO followed the proper procedures. We should be thankful the Barreth’s searched for the tiniest of clues to find KB. It is harder to be thankful to KK...but I hold out hope that the judge will use his discretion to enhance her sentence.
I think looking at the early press conferences, you not only see CB’s pain, but also the heartbreak of LE. Do not discount how much they care. Sometimes in order to stop the suffering you have to do things you do not want to do. I hope the B family was involved in some of these heartbreaking decisions.
