Truth, so you don't struggle with it anymore, it's four letters in a row in my mind.
Searching the marsh would be the logical thing to do in my opinion because that's where BB said she saw SG going.
As far as the guy who was saying it, if it was JS jr., it's my opinion he's got his own agenda, anger issues, and lack of social skills. That doesn't make him too dumb to see the marsh as the place to look. Frankly, I always thought the marsh had been searched and was surprised to find out it wasn't.
Truth of the matter is there probably was no need to look any further than the cops did that early morning. Believe it or not this wasn't the first call of a person screaming for help in the middle of the night and when the cops get there they find nothing to report.
What and where do you expect the cops to look? Why would they even bother to look. Did you folks know there are about 150,00 -200,000 burglar alarms that go off each year in Suffolk County, and literally 99% of them are false. It has gotten so bad that then PC Dormer went public and said his Department would no longer respond to alarms if they are deemed to be chronic. Not that this wasn't a stupid thing to say, but he said it. It has gotten so commonplace that the dispatcher might get a call from an alarm company and not dispatch a car for an hour or so. Sometimes longer.
My only questions regarding this particular matter is: What kind of call did they get, and how fast was it dispatched, and after it was dispatched how long did it take for a cop to get there. What did he do when he got there. What could he do? These are all legitimate questions that need to be answered.
Cops are not magicians no matter what they would like you to think.
Until we know more about the incident, and the cops aren't willing to release the tape we may never know.
Also, keep in mind the SCPD/IAB will NOT investigate any case of misconduct if there is a chance the County can be held liable. Contrast that to the NYPD. NYPD will investigate ANY case no matter the potential liability to the City. The cops are charged with investigating these situations, the defending of any malfeasance is for the County Attorney. Let the chips fall where they may.
