I swear to god I’m not high. Up late/early after falling into the YouTube rabbit hole.
I have questions. Murder investigations lead to solved murder cases 50% of the time. I always hear the same old cliches thrown out by investigators. Most popular, “The first 48 hours are crucial.” And “It’s usually the spouse/significant other or someone close.”.
I don’t know, I might be over analyzing that school of thought, but hear me out. If the first 48 hours are so crucial, and you’re solving these crimes right at 50% of the time, wouldn’t that be flawed logic?
So you solve 50% of murder investigations. Of those 50%, only 54% of those are people who were murdered by a spouse/significant other/family member.
Just to break that down. 100 murders happened today. 50 of those will be solved. 27.5% of the 50 solved murders are going to be solved because an investigator focused on the spouse/significant other/family initially.
Am I retarded for suggesting that half of all murders may be going unsolved because 100% of murder investigations start with bullshit logic?
