BBM. To know your daughter was violently murdered by a man she trusted is horrific. To find out multiple people might have stopped it but chose not to try must be heartbreaking all over again.
Whistle-blowers blow the whistle to put a stop to something. What do you call someone who puts emergency flares/traffic cones in the street after an accident has been cleared?
You’re right in that it’s important that people speak up when something nefarious comes to their attention.
But let’s game this specific scenario out:
The attorneys contact their local police department, and inform them that they have an employee whose friend said she was approached to commit a murder.
This local police department sends an officer to talk to the friend.
After the conversation, this officer believes that this is a genuine plot (maybe).
This department then contacts the police department in the town that KK lives.
A police officer contacts KK.
At this point, KK can do one of two things:
Admit that she was solicited.
Play it off as a joke or something.
Considering that she ultimately became involved in some capacity, I’m confident that she would have denied it.
At this stage, one of two things can happen.
It ends here.
This department then contacts the police department in the Colorado town where PF lives.
This department then approaches PF.
Because I am confident in the fact that KK would have played this off already and PF would have done the same, it very well could have ended here too.
My point is this:
It is by no means a sure thing that this couple could have stopped this.
KK could have though, at plenty of points along the way.
