yes, but there is a flip side to that. if my child was kidnapped, and I knew I didn't do it, it would infuriate me that the first 48-72 hours of the investigation - would be focused on ME, and not having the police out there looking for my kid while there was still some chance of finding them alive.

OK,fair enough.But given how often it is that a relative *did* do it,it's understandable that they'd come to you first.If you're innocent but choose to "lawyer up" anyway,that will just make the cops more suspicious and delay the day when they start looking for the actual perp.

Father's *do* rape and kill their daughters.So do brothers and uncles.Mothers even do it once in a while.
