Well, we can deduce one thing about the killer: He was smart enough to do his murdering in D.C.

If you want a competent crime investigation there you have to hire your own investigators.

[The Great Satan]

From the Washington Post:

Later, after attending a briefing on the case, Ramsey said there was a "very strong probability" that an animal indeed had retrieved it, possibly from a burrow. That hypothesis is based on information the police received from the National Zoo, which told investigators that the animals making this part of the park their home could have abandoned the area during the search and may have been replaced by others after police left. Under this theory, the bone may have been uncovered by an animal cleaning out an old den.

The DC cops' handling of this case is as absurd as their handling of the Joyce Chiang case (Joyce was the murdered intern of Gary's good friend, Rep. Howard Berman). I wonder who Gary will kill next?

Police Chief Ramsey's first reaction to the news of the legbone was, "Now, we at least have a leg up on the investigation."

This story now is getting legs. They should keep on looking, they may come across Jimmy Hoffa eventually.

Could the police assigned to this be the same crack team that worked with the Park Police to investigate Vince Foster's "suicide"? Sounds like the Keystone Cops.

If your marriage is rocky, don't let your spouse talk you into a DC vacation. You might end up there the rest of your life.

[RushLake]

In order to be embarassed, one has to be capable of discriminating right and wrong. Alleged Chief Ramsey is too stupid to discern the crucial differences in anything. How else to explain why gunfree DC is always in the top 5 in firearms related homicides nationwide let alone mount a possible murder investigation?

My wife and I often watch "Forensic Files" on Court TV which covers various homicides. What this program demonstrates is that it does take some due diligence to properly investigate a potential homicide, but dedicated people who care can do proper investigation and follow up.

[Diogenesis]

Crime has happened. Evidence has been found.

Is it time for DC justice?

Is it time to REALLY investigate the crime scene?

---

More of the victim's body has been found.

At last, is it time to round up the perp?

Chief Ramsey announces something
and the force heads off for their important business.
This must be the chance for justice which all have waited for.

They had not found the body despite searching the park last year, and did not unearth the leg bone, only 8 metres from where the skull was found, despite spending a week combing that patch of ground with sniffer dogs.

What? No way! It wasn't there.

katt...

A few days ago, on national tv, Chief Ramsey said he and his fellow donut chompers were, "one of the best police departments in the country". That is a sad statement, but sadder yet, that idiot thinks he can foist that opinion off on a gullible public.

[Irene Adler]

""It is unacceptable that these items were not located," Mr Ramsey said in a statement. "I have directed that this matter be thoroughly reviewed to determine why these items were not originally found."

Maybe the Chief should forget that for the time being and HAVE THE SITE SEARCHED, AGAIN. Duh.

[river rat]

Embarrassed?
How is it possible to embarrass morons?

Still, the D.C. Police have provided a valuable public service..
They have become the classic case study of incompetence.
Their handling of this case, will be studied for decades as the classic case of how NOT to handle a missing person, possible homicide or crime scene investigation..

Semper Fi

[bandleader]

From What I Can See,These Guys Aren't "POLICE",They're "The Keystone Kops"!!!!!!!!

[xm177e2]

The bone was a foot long! The DC police are incompetent beyond belief.

[Sonny M]

I honestly think that either the body was dumped there after the police looked it over and left or an amatuer killed her and the cops are just incompetent. Now if it was professional, the body would have been buried, and lime would have been used. I know one guy who isn't a pro who is a suspect, here's a clue, he's a dem from cali.
