Questioned by the cops

OP

A quick google search does not reflect any missing mothers in last week who have not already been found or were not unemployed.

End the insensitive nonsense.

She will not be listed as missing if the cops have found the body.

There is no one missing that fits the OPs parameters.

Thanks, I'll tell the cops...

As others have said, good trolling and such. But yeah this is a thread to inform laymen of their rights and what is smart.

Specifically regarding murders, something like 4/5 of murder victims knew their killer. The first people the cops go to when investigating a missing person or murder are, of course, people who knew the vic. Because, who else is there. People who don't know the victim can't really help, can they? But I'm sure you've now crossed the bridge I've built. If 80% of victims knew their killer, and cops ask questions of the people who knew the victim early on in the investigation, then that means...wait for it...every person they question is, at least in some small part, a suspect! Doesn't matter if it's the victim's mother or 13 year old daughter, or coworker for that matter. This is real basic stuff.

So, get a lawyer. The prosecution's case against you has already begun to be developed. The cops are treating you like a defendent, so treat yourself that way as well.

National clearance rates for murder and manslaughter have fallen from about 90 percent in the 1960s to below 65 percent in recent years. The majority of homicides now go unsolved at dozens of big-city police departments, according to a Scripps Howard News Service study of crime records provided by the FBI.Jan 26, 2013

If only 65% get solved how do you get 80%

An ex-colleague of mine has gone missing (she's married with 4 kids) and the police have questioned me twice in the last 48hrs. I'm a bit surprised by this as we never spoke outside work etc. so wouldn't have thought try would ever have been interested in me.

Anyone else ever been "in the frame"? Bit unnerving...

Well, you're not under arrest so you DO NOT have to go in for questioning if they ask you.

Get a lawyer.

5/10 troll

I am a troll.

Please stop responding to this thread.

Actually DNA is now excluding 25% of people wrongfully convicted. So the 90% rate included about 25% innocent people.

Nowadays only the guilty are convicted. Unfortunately not all the guilty.

Please don't hijack this thread. If you aren't interested, don't read it.

Quick update - things may be coming to a conclusion. It appears that she may not have 'gone missing' alone. I have understood that someone else from her new place of work is also AWOL. He booked annual leave but his folks can't contact him (he is a recent graduate). If this is true, it may mean that they have run off together.

All third hand information so I shall see.

How do you draw the line between helping and being a suspect? All along they have said that they just need to exclude me so I have been largely happy to oblige.

Doesn't that mean he is suspect 1 and you are now suspect number 2?

Did you have a relationship with the other suspect? Anything the coppers can track?

What is your gut feeling? Is she alive and safe?

Fair point!

I highly doubt it as I don't know anyone of that age in that industry - Any relationship would be a coincidence. To be clear, I don't know his name or even whether this is true.

I had a chat with my HR director and I am the only person from the company the police have requested information about.

I can't believe people are still reading this nonsense.

And yet here you are...

they just questioned me, showed me some photos Facebook and email stuff ... the cops are the least of your worries now. I just got a lawyer to deal with you.

It's gone quiet, I think either the police arrested him or the wife killed him

It is like waiting for the GRRM to write the final books here ......

I hope you did the "talk n work" thing from Law & Order. If not, you wasted a good chance to be a TV trope.
