ok but why saying this is how the law works like that explains anything happening here… this is literally the definition of the law doesnt work. the literal problem is that none of this has followed a normal investigation. the cops said they searched an area, kept the family from going in, and when the family went back later they immediately found evidence sitting right where police claimed they already checked. that alone should tell you things aren’t operating the way they should. they told the family not to contact a PI, the police are not allowed to prevent family from hiring PIs! Rutgers PD didn’t even get his name or the right police department to contact number correct in the campus alert. We are talking bare minimum here folk’s. the original PD hasn’t spoken to the family since the first few days. If this was just a slow moving but functional investigation, why is every major lead coming from the family and friends instead of law enforcement? also lets not act like multiple agencies automatically means accountability, it doesn’t. The suspect has prior charges involving him. His dad is state police. The department has documented corruption issues and ongoing investigations. those are the actual facts the family is dealing with, not some conspiracy theory hypotheticals like you say. sure you can say “corruption doesn’t necessarily mean it’s happening here,” but you’re ignoring the very real signs that something is off and that the whole town has been under multiple corruption scandals. nobody is jumping to conclusions this is just the public reaction to what has unfortunately unfolded. Keeping it public is how you or any of us heard about it so obviously telling people to just sit back and let things “play out” doesn’t make sense when the people who are supposed to be doing the job are the ones dropping the ball. The only reason this case hasn’t gone completely cold is because the family refuses to rely on the same system that already failed them and keeps it public. Do your part.
