What's priceless is that, given the stats made up, you don't think one is necessary.

They were probably talking to the mother as they all stood next to the car. It was in front of the house.

If the mother and everybody in the neighborhood missed them, why is it the cops' fault?

Are you aware that the police searched the vehicle?

Since they are paid professionals, they are held to a higher standard than the general public.

If a cop was told to search the car and failed to search the trunk, then I think this is terrible negligence on his part-was this a stated fact of this case?

It could be negligence by ommission, if it's deemed a reasonable search by LE would've looked in that trunk....

I do think the insurance carrier for Camden will be looking to settle this case.

I am not casting blame solely on the police. The parents should have thought to search the immediate area as well, including every nook and cranny they could get to. My point is that once the police began conducting a search, they should have re-traced every nook and cranny the parents had already searched. That they overlooked the trunk indicates someone was not doing a very good job.
