So I guess what we're saying is if police do not check every possible lead, or shred of evidence, or possible hiding place, or nook and cranny, and some unfollowed path turns out to be the correct one, then they should be held criminally or financially negligent? I've seen many comments on this story where the "parent" says the children played in the trunk. 1) Are you kidding me? 2) Was this EVER mentioned in the presence of police before the bodies were found? If the cops did not have ALL the information, how could they be responsible?
"Sargent Jones, go search the car."
"I looked in the windows and everything looks fine. Can I get a dough nut now?"
If you told one of your officers to search the car, wouldn't you expect him to include the trunk?
Or would you say, "Ah, well. Close enough."
