Unbelievable! Who would imagine the mother would basically just tell them what they wanted to hear! Lots of poor judgement by LE according to this article. Without excusing their mistakes, I think it’s important to keep in mind that they were dealing with the brutal murder of a child, which is always particularly awful for LE, and they wanted to get to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, all-too-human error has wasted so much time and Victoria’s killer is still free. But Michele and her boyfriend should not be home free by any means.
APD detectives interviewed Martens knowing she was hit in the head with an iron hours earlier and may have been under the influence of drugs.
Also, the detectives that interviewed Martens were from APD’s Homicide Unit. Now, APD admits that detectives from the Crimes Against Children Unit may have been better prepared.
