INTRODUCTION: Are All Suicides Really Suicides?



          01.01 SUMMARY

01.01 INTRODUCTION: Summary

The problem with suicide cases is twofold.

It isn't that suicides aren't horrible enough in and of themselves; the emotional and psychological cost to both family and friends is beyond calculation, but worse, what if it wasn't a suicide. What if it was murder? This is where the conundrum lies.

This conundrum begins with Law Enforcement (LE), and it's really easy to put all the blame on them, but the real blame belongs with their budget.

LE doesn't have an unlimited budget so when someone "seemingly" commits suicide, they can't afford to throw unlimited manpower at it; and unless there is obvious evidence indicating otherwise, they will very rarely declare it otherwise. This is only the first of the two part conundrum surrounding suicides.

The second is related to the first conundrum; because it's so easy to make a murder look like a suicide, when LE decides to declare a death a suicide, not only are the families frustrated in getting real closure, but it also allows someone to get away with murder. Which brings up the possibility of a worse case scenario, what if the murderer is a serial killer?
