I will state beforehand that I am not someone who hates the police or think I know better etc, I am sure there are great policing in areas and investigators etc but lately the police seem to be very dismissive indeed in high profile cases.
First of all was the case of Stephen Port ('grindr killer') which, with the plea of victims family members and friends to investigate the links between each murders as they were happening, were totally dismissed and uninformative to the immediate family regarding the deaths of their sons.
And now there is the recent story of the missing serviceman Corrie Mckeague who was last seen (on cctv) in September and are not investigating the case very much at all judging by the family who are of course in desperate need for information of their missing relative. So much so that they launched a crowdfunding for a private investigator!
Why are the police being so dismissive and showing lack of respect for cases that involve murder and serious crime? Is it lack of staff, lack of interest, lack of funds?
The reason I say this is because with the first case of Stephen Port, his laptop was taken by police and confiscated (this was after the first death). When the police felt it was non-suspicious and that Port had no direct involvement, they didn't need to use it. However when the second murder happened just a few months later, a member of the public asked for them to test the laptop for any possible information, only to be told it would be "too expensive" to do that.
Had they have done this, two more lives would've been saved.
It makes me lose complete faith in them. A similar story is of a teenage girl who reported a rape but instead of having an investigation, was just given a rape alarm!?
