    Not to mention how much money they are spending on finding the killer while other murder victims got a “lol who cares about minorities and the poors” from the same cops.

    The incentives for police and prosecution action is mostly based on net worth, then by their prejudices.

        Rich people buy the politicians or know who to put pressure on to get the police to act. Poor people and most middle class people don’t have the connections or can’t afford to apply pressure and have to hope the victim is a young, white, and good looking woman or girl.
