Families need to know someone cares. They need to know that law enforcement is trying to solve the murder. Families want to see the murderer off the streets so they can no longer hurt others. Their children’s murderers live among us, free to kill again if they are not brought to justice. This is one of the most important issues in our nation.
To use the FBI’s terminology, the national “clearance rate” for homicide today is 64.1 percent. Fifty years ago, it was more than 90 percent. And those numbers do not even include murders like our daughter Morgan’s murder, because these type of murders have been incorrectly determined to not be a murder. There are so many families in our nation that have had the same thing happen in their cases, the evidence is there…it is beyond horrible.
