Has there been any official pronouncements why Van Boy wasn’t held in custody early on, as he was an obvious flight risk?
I mean, I’m not Joe Friday, but if I can figure this stuff out sittin’ here in the cheap seats, what exactly is it these guys get paid for anyway?
Unless Barney Fife was in charge, they must have had surveillance on the kid.
They can't hold someone when they have no evidence that a crime has been committed. Speculation that a crime has been committed and that he may have committed it is not good enough.
They certainly should have had him under surveillance, though.
The Daily Mail article said that the Police Chief stated that no crime had been committed in North Port so I'm guessing he's saying he had no authority....but the FBI did, didn't they. They couldn't arrest Laundrie but they sure as heck should have been watching him.
