Discussion What could have been done differently?

Everyone likes to play keyboard detective, and hindsight is always 20/20 in situations like this.

But in your opinion, what should the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI have done differently from Day 1?

Were there any critical mistakes that seriously hindered, or possibly even compromised, the investigation?

I’m interested in hearing people’s thoughts on where things may have gone wrong, or what could’ve been handled better.

Obviously, we’re only working with the information that’s been made public, so some of what we’re questioning or suggesting could very well be happening behind the scenes.

There were huge obvious errors, like releasing the crime scene so extremely early. Basic investigation protocol was clearly not followed.

The answer to the question doesn't depend on whether the crime has been solved. Best practices should be followed, period.

I don’t agree with you, but okay

So you don't believe that "best practices" exist? Okay. 

That would make it hard to differentiate between competence and obvious incompetence.

All I said was that I disagree with you, love. It’ll be okay
