What case really burns your butt?

[ilovewings]

The Casey Anthony case will always haunt me--- I see her sweet innocent face ---and cannot get over that her mother got away with murdering this child. It is just so unfair.

The case that presently burns my butt though is the failure of the police to solve the murder of Liz Barraza-- I just get the feeling that the police are nowhere near solving this case. I don't know if it is incompetence or what. There seem to be enough clues that I would think there would be progress in this case. The vehicle is such a key clue--
The nature of the murder ( blitz attack), and the viciousness of the fatal attack are heart breaking and angering.

Stories with useless parents who contribute to their child's death.

Ashley Wentworth and Gabbi Petito.
Both essentially were murdered by abusive men because their idiot, clueless parents didn't parent them. They were passive in the face of danger and did nothing, absolutely nothing to protect their kids. Ashley went to the UK and was murdered by a creep she met online. Her mother's attitude was that she was an adult, so "What could I do?"
She was EIGHTEEN.
After she died there was a big ceremony where they talked about her "light" and how she knew her scripture and she was another Missing and Murdered Indigenous woman. But she wasn't missing. Everyone knew where she was. She didn't die on the highway, or Pickton's farm. She bought a plane ticket and went to meet a guy on the other side of the world. It burned my butt because.....where was everyone when she was alive?

Shannan Gilbert being considered some kind of accident/misadventure rather than LISK.

A case in Bowraville, Australia, three Indigenous children disappeared and found murdered in the 1990s. The police botched it so badly. Racism played a huge part. When the mother of 4-year-old Evelyn Greenup reported her missing to the police, the lone officer on duty said "what do you want me to do about it, I'm about to finish my shift". After years of shoddy, half-baked investigation, it was finally taken seriously. They found the killer and took him to trial, but he was acquitted. The trial rules were different at the time and there was a lot of evidence not allowed in. He's still walking around today. It really sticks in my craw.

There are way too many cases of botched police investigation--- it just makes me so angry. Many of the botched cases involve whether a case is a suicide or homicide. So often the police seem much more likely to want to call a case a suicide rather than a homicide. I hate to say this, but I think some of them are just lazy and don't want to do the work necessary to investigate a potential homicide. You see cases like Rebecca Zahau or Ellen Greenberg- so obviously botched investigations- Then on top of the botched police investigation you have the coroner or ME botching their end of it, refusing to call a case a homicide, or even undetermined. Once the cause of death is deemed a suicide the case is closed--it goes cold- ice cold and most of those case will never be reopened.

I can understand why that case you reference would bother you-to think that a murderer is walking around free is very upsetting.

That bothers me but doesn't burn my @ss. I think it's a situation where they couldn't precisely determine the circumstances. It was such a complicated case, it went on for years, and that's what can happen with a serial killer.

Jonbenet Ramsay. Every time I log into this site it's all over the front page. It's tragic and sad, but there's only so much we can do. I would love to redirect people to those cases with possibly living children or those cases that aren't watched so closely, for children deceased or alive.

very puzzling that there aren't any leads. It's possible that the killer has left the area.

The murder of Corryn Rayney, Perth, Western Australia in 2007. In my opinion a combination of poor police investigation and prosecutorial mistakes lead to the acquittal of her husband, a prominent Perth lawyer, at a judge only trial in 2010.

There is still a chance this case could be reopened at some point. Jmo the only defendant to ever be tried got away with murder.

I considered starting a thread about this, and someone probably will if it blows up (which some people are predicting it might) but over the weekend, a 21-year-old man named Jakarta Jackson, who already had a lengthy criminal record, tried to flee from police in Rock Island, Illinois, and was fatally shot by one of the officers on the scene.

There was already a protest at the courthouse TODAY. THAT is what burned MY butt - that people were making all kinds of assumptions without knowing ANY of the facts.

Probably because they should only shoot when in danger, not when someone is fleeing.

 

[HoneyBunOne]

The cases that stick with me, are JonBenet Ramsey for its weirdness, Madeleine McCann because it hasn't been solved yet there appears to be one suspect that keeps popping up, and Samantha Murphy because I can relate to her, and the fact she was just going about her life.

Hopefully the truth comes out and the right people pay in all these cases.

The officer WAS in danger, because the man tried to floor it while the cop was hanging onto the car.

Ahhh, that isn’t really what I consider fleeing as much as trying to kill an officer, but gotcha.

Your link won't open for me. Are you able to list some of his priors? Thanks.
BTW, I think this probably will blow up.
