I feel they are hiding something.
You bet they're hiding something. Not to mention heaving giant sighs of relief that no one is taking them to task for this monumental failure. Tomorrow will be eight months since they started concealing facts from the public. Yes, an investigation was also going on, but that statement is accurate. They came into the case, aware of the immediate national attention, and quickly put a lid on it. On the one hand, that keeps the killer(s) from monitoring LE's progress, but on the other hand, it will dry up news stories and the media will go away. It also helps, if some people are correct in their assertion that OSBI is sweeping this under the rug, to ensure that the public does not know just how much is actually being swept away.
On Feb. 15, will any of them have the nerve to show up on County Line Road? Perhaps one or two, possibly undercover, to document their files...maybe rookies or the two who drew the short straws. In the unlikely event BR or JB dares to show up AND is unable to escape being interviewed, expect the same statements that at first were standard issue but by now are lame excuses: the case is solvable, we're still getting leads, we need someone to come forward. To update, they might add the case is not a cold one.
Textbook baloney! Instead of swallowing it, one might interpret their actions into words. How about: "We essentially quit after the grand jury." Maybe: "We're not going to stick around and apply pressure on the suspect(s)." My favorite: "We're not going to tell anyone anything; not even the grieving families will get any reassurance from us. Yeah, they're all scared and everything, but we have to keep information from the public, you know."
Whoever did it just has to keep quiet and they're home free. No one will speak up for the insufficient $30,000 reward, and OSBI packed up and went home months ago (without a press conference, by the way).
Yeah, they're hiding something all right. But some things are right there in plain sight. They can't hide them no matter how they spin things if they get cornered by the news cameras they have been avoiding since September.
I think they sent laboratory cops to do a street cops' job. I think the educated city folk were outsmarted by people with little or no IQ at all. Many people suspect something very sinister (more than just two murders) and that's probably right, but not necessarily a dirty cop/coverup. However, somewhere along the line, there is an OSBI level of command, at or near the top, which has pulled the plug on this investigation. That decision was made, on behalf of the entire organization, to quit this "solvable" case. That decision was not overturned by anyone at a higher level. I interpret that as, "We no longer have the desire to solve this case" or maybe just flat out, "We are not going to solve this case."
Like everyone else, I would like to know why.
