re: Do we as a country suck at solving murders, or are detectives under qualified?

It's not easy to convict someone.

It's not all about convicting someone. In the podcast there was a missing college student in 2002. His car was still there, nothing was disturbed, no signs of him, just vanished. The county detectives told his parents that he fell into the lake and drowned. So his parents had the lake searched; nothing. The county detectives told his parents he was probably absorbed by quciksand around the lake. Parents reached out to professionals, no quicksand in Minnesota at all, basically. The county detectives told his parents he fell in the lake and was eaten by snapping turtles. Professionals came in and said theres no way snapping turtles could eat a human.

It's not just about murders, but missing people, unsolved cases and detectives throwing out wild possibilities that have nearly zero chance of being true.
