I have answered that a couple of times.
I would first have them go to buildings that had windows facing the murder scene building. I would tell them to quickly go through other buildings, talk to people etc. ask if anyone was seen running or leaving the murder scene building when they should be in class?
Assign several to different exits checking vehicles, writing down plate numbers, find out if anyone in other buildings had been to the murder building earlier, and possibly had left for some reason...Did they see anyone leaving quickly?
Any cameras on campus? Any campus banks or ATMs with cameras? Check them too. Etc etc.
I would assign at least 80 of those officers to search for other possible victims or bodies in other buildings etc. Watch for anyone lurking around trying or attempting to hide, quickly interviewing people as they search for other possible victims or witnesses
A fantastic plan.
The only problem with it is that the murderer did none of these things.
He did not use a car. Students regularly jog from one place to another, especially if they are into athletics. So seeing someone running across a campus is not unusual.
But if someone did see this mad man running, what did he look like. “Well, chief, he had on this really big goosedown jacket and a hood. Looked like he weighed about 250 lbs. Really big. Couldn’t see his face, but he was a really big looking guy.....unless it was that goosedown jacket”
The murder scene was a dorm. People leave dorms at all hours and every few minutes. To go to breakfast, to go to the supply store for paper, pens, notebooks, whatever.
To go to the tutor...to go work out at the gym...on and on.
900 people in the building and you want to know if anyone went in or out.
You are going to check cameras, but you don’t even know whether there are any?
I asked you before, how many times cops checked your house for bodies because there was a murder in your town.
2600 acres divided by 80 cops is still 32.5 acres per cop.
Do you know how large 32.5 acres is?
26,000 persons to interview by 80 cops is still 325 persons per cop.
So in less than two hours, you would have interviewed each of the 26,000, verified that they were who they said they were, determined that none of them had a weapon and that they were in the right place their schedule called for....and prevented the second crime.
Wonderful.
I am really impressed.
I am glad I asked the question.
This brilliant plan would have uncovered that one guy in 26,000 that was in the wrong place and wallah! We have our man in time to save all of those people.
Fantastic. I am glad I asked.
Hey, I just thought of something.
How sad it is that you were not in Dallas that day.
You would have thrown all of your genius into the overwhelming police force thing and caught that guy on the grassy knoll.
Yep. Here we have worried about that guy for 40 years and you would have had him in less than two hours.
Oh yes, another thing.
I have it on stright information from very high sources (promise you will keep this to yourself) that this thing at VT is a conspiracy.
You see, my guy tells me that Imus and Nyfong hired this Korean to knock off all of these people so their names would be off the front pages.
Keep it quiet. We don’t want to let it out until we have got the goods on them.
But that is straigt stuff right out of Washington.
Bye. Time to take a nap.
PS. You do have my permission to work on the Imus Nyfong angle. Put your genius to work on it.
