Really sounds like those cops were desperate for the family to drop it with all that nonsense about a heart attack. So dismissive in literally the worst possible moment. Someone definitely knows the murderer/his family in the Sheriff's Office, I'd bet money on it, they really wanted the Christensens to think it was an accident, even when they had a suspect.

I have to agree with you. This looks like law enforcement corruption.

Hope his family know about the new cold case law where they can request federal review of the case, sucks they have to bide their time until its deemed cold but at least there is something to do about it when police burry their crimes.

Yep, odds are the shooter's parents are buddies/family with the cops or they go to the same church. I can just see it, the shooter told some story about it being an accident (and for all we know it was but that doesn't matter) and then it's "his life can't be ruined over an accident with an out-of-towner". Fuck this shit.

Don’t worry! The Lewis County Sheriff’s twin brother is the Thurston County Sheriff. When either department needs an investigation into their action the bros always step up to investigate each other.

Totally normal and we love it!

I just learned about these guys in my research on a candidate for sheriff in Grays Harbor County. Both Snazas endorsed him and I’ve only read negative things about them.

And people wonder why no one likes or trusts cops.

Given how someone has already pointed out that a person has basically confessed already, I think it would be imprudent to rule out the more mundane possibility that the cops in question really are that shitty at their jobs and that this has mostly been the thin blue line trying to cover for their own initial incompetence.
