Reply to comment by pinnr in Investigation underway into daughter's allegation Iowa man was prolific serial killer by livestrong10

Potentially identifying dozens of bodies in a well doesn't sound like important police work to you? Would you rather have them looking for people making lane changes without signaling?

Dear God he actually said yes.

Yes, I would much rather have them investigating crimes that are actually occurring. Maybe this woman could make up that her dead father's ghost is stealing catalytic converters so they could investigate that instead.

Did you know that a crime may actually be happening, but requires investigation to be sure? I know I know, it's a wild concept.

The line between making a bullshit claim like that, and "hey my dad's a serial killer, might wanna check that out" is hilariously wide.

yet here they are not investigating crimes *they know for sure happened* and spending time on a crime *that might have happened* instead.

Yes, they're investigating a crime that might have happened to determine if the crime did in fact happen. This is how it works. You have to investigate to determine if a crime has taken place. Why is this a hard concept to grasp?

I'm sure they have plenty of legitimate unsolved missing persons cases they could be investigating instead.

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you knew for a fact, and with proof nonetheless, that there were absolutely no missing persons cases in that area that have been filed in the last several decades.

Wait, you do have evidence backing up your implication here... right?

Uh wow man, you're so close to being aware. What dog do you have in this fight? You know this dude personally or something? It's a pretty big accusation and woefully horrific if true. Don't you think we should at least check it out? You got pot plants out there? Good lord

Cadaver dogs on separate searches of the property indicated scents of human remains in the same locations. Incidentally, one of the locations is a 90 foot well and a place the daughter has reported that her father made her and her siblings help him dispose of remains. If that’s not worthy of an investigation I don’t know what is. If these claims are true the families of the victims deserve to know what happened to their loved ones.

If she is proven to be right, this may just be a good example of the mindset of the people who denied her all these years :/

You don’t think the families of these victims (assuming they exist) might like some closure?
