---interesting weird coincidence, but could make perfect chronological sense for him to be vice then a lead det---that's one of those either random weird coincidences based on it making since since he went from vice and worked his way up to lead det by doing good work---or, it's a "holy crap" coincidence--if the others have local arrests, he likely would appear on the sheets as well, so it wouldn't stand out as odd initially as out of place, but rather it would be expected, and look normal-doesn't have to be him---could be someone from that type of unit---could be normal based on circumstance, but could be something to it...be interesting to see the arresting officers in the other girls cases.

--IFFF WEST MESA is tied to an APD, someone like that makes sense since you would be looking for a mission-oriented(such as cleaning up the streets in their area), organized serial killer,
