"I know that officer, but can't you check for DNA on the seat? I think he had to sit down when he reached for my purse on the backseat."
"Ma'm, there is a 6 month wait at the crime lab for DNA results because of the high number of murder, robbery, and sex crime cases."
"I realize that, but can you get some of his DNA?"
"Ma'm, you told me that the value of your purse was $100 and that there was nothing of value inside the purse."
"But Officer, it seems like you should be able to get some of his DNA!"
"Ma'm, it costs a thousand dollars, per DNA sample. The district attorneys office is not going to authorize that a DNA sample be processed for a $100 petty theft."
"Really???? Why not????"

I wish I had a dollar for every time an assistant district attorney has told me, "We only get the ones (jurors) who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty."

The entire family should have been charged with Felony Child Neglect likely to cause great bodily injury. The photo's alone, absent any other evidence, of the mom partying while her little girl was "missing" would have been enough for a conviction.

The mom is a lying slimeball who should be executed.

The father (ex cop) is a narcissistic slimeball who should be executed.

I hope that all three of them get exactly what they deserve.

I have seen just about everything wrong about humankind in my 21 years in LE. But when I view the video of that little girl I am just overwhelmed with utter sadness.

I hope that the child was unconscious and never realized that she had been betrayed (and was about to be killed) by the very people who were put on this earth to protect her.

Agreed.
