I can count on my hand how many cold cases I've seen of missing persons where the cops actually did their job and became stumped due to the case truly being a mystery and a crime scene that leaves a real puzzle. It happens, but it's so incredibly rare. 9 times out of 10, the cops screw up with the crime scene and/or the investigators hone in on witnesses that are family members, friends or "the wrong kind of people" and as a result, they don't even look at the entire picture and spend all their time and effort chasing leads that turn up as dead ends and trying to convict someone who is truly innocent.
Missing person cases are a true testament of how real the class war is. There are so many cases of police simply not giving a shit cause the person was poor. This is especially true when it comes to sex workers and the amount of them reported missing. Most of the time, police don't even bother investigating missing sex workers cause at the end of the day, the attitude is "well, they're whores, fuck them. If something bad happens to them, oh well!"
There is a reason why most serial killers focus on sex workers as marginalized people and manage to get away with it for so long. Police don't care and it usually comes down to family efforts to even push an investigation on them, and even there, police are still reluctant to comply and run a thorough investigation.
Those kind of cases come up all the time on true crime sub reddits, and especially on R/UnresolvedMysteries and it only takes an hour or so for someone to comment about the police's incompetence and then all the bootlickers rush to defend the cops and dehumanize the victim.
Not just poor people. Look into the Bruce McArthur saga here in Toronto. The gay community told the police there was serial killer targeting homosexuals, and the TPS did nothing. Today they are still discovering and exhuming bodies he buried across the assorted properties he was working on as a landscaper, all the victims gay men.
Most of the gay community are poor too, so yes, it goes back to the class war. Same with the indigenous people who are often targeted by killers in Canada as well as the US.
