Yes because it is what they do. And they do need to hire more people because the dangers we face as a nation today are more challenging.Billboards across 3-4 states to catch a local criminal no one has a name or face to....3 federal agencies + local and state working on one murder case....With all the threats of terrorism, hackers, riots, frauds, counterfeiting, cyber crimes, illegal guns sales and other federal crimes 3 federal agencies have time and labor to donate to a local murder by a local person(s) over a lovers spat or jealousy...
"I'm looking to hire 1,000 people to start to fill those almost 2,500 vacancies that we have.....Comey said the FBI needs to hire those 1,000 people quickly because "the plate of threats we face is remarkable." He said the agency's top priorities are counter-terrorism, including prevent a WMD attack; counter-intelligence; and criminal challenges, the latter ranging from public corruption to civil rights to white collar crime, gangs and human trafficking, and protecting children.

I can show you case after case where the FBI and other agencies were brought in for the same reasons. Missing children, missing adults, murders, etc. all warrant the attention of the FBI should local law enforcement request their help. Again, their resources are valuable to small agencies.
So do they care about the local murder of a young girl? Yes. Hard for some to believe, but it is true. Each state has an FBI office and they work closely with the state investigative branch. It isn't like the entire FBI has been called into work this case. This is SOP (standard operating procedure).
Thousands of our agents work closely with their state and local partners on investigations and joint task forces. We have a surge capacity that can be tapped into during major cases, and we make our many capabilities available upon requestfrom evidence experts to behavioral analysts.
