From Delphi to Idaho to JonBenet: Law Enforcement Struggles to Cope with Modern-Day Crime

eSleuth’s own: Scot Thomasson

We have seen law enforcement struggle in high-profile cases, no more clearly than the 1996 murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, where the Boulder County, Colorado Police Department failed to take steps that have contributed to the crime remaining unsolved for nearly three decades. But it's not just in Boulder. From the Delphi, Indiana, murders of 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German to the murders of four students at the University of Idaho, even the most earnest small law enforcement have a hard time dealing with complex cases. At the same time, in agencies that do have resources, technology and techniques — like the Chicago Police Department – apathy has set in. Scot Thomasson, a former federal agent with the Diplomatic Security Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), joins me to talk about better ways.
