Oh, Come On!
Yesterday a family in St. Louis (Lemay, actually, which is very close to where I live) found the dead bodies of three of their relatives. The family and police have been looking for them for several days. See, there was a shoot-out with an insane man a week ago on top of the house. When police found the residents of the home to be missing they put out an all-points bulletin and initiated a search.
Hey, what's this here? Behind these suspiciously hung clothes, why, is that a closet? And that foul smell emanating from it, what could that be? Lookey there, three dead bodies.
How could the police have missed them? Easy, they didn't look. They poked around the house and looked in the shed then threw their hands up in the air and decided three people must be missing.
The worst thing about this is the police told the family they did a thorough search of the house and grounds. They insisted they had looked everywhere. They wouldn't let the family back into the house because it was a crime scene. Once it was released, the family looked around for themselves and that's when the bodies were discovered. Can you say "liar?"
The police were lazy, pure and simple. They didn't give a shit to look around because they had already surmised that the family was missing. Once they had that idea in their head no other was allowed. Now they look like a bunch of dumbasses with their thumbs up their butts. Someone is going to get reamed for this, even fired. But it showcases a problem the police have had for years.
Shitty police work. There are good cops out there, don't get me wrong, but when the lead cop or a majority of cops are egotistical assholes the whole investigation is fucked. I'm sure the fact that the family was poor and not-white has something to do with it as well. Yeah, yeah, overworked, underpaid, not appreciated, I'm sure there are plenty of excuses but the bottom line is three people rotted away in a closet until their family took the time to find them. This is a mistake and it needs to be investigated.
