Over the past week or so we have witnessed NPPD Admin at its most screwed up and vulnerable point. One can clearly see the two chiefs failed to respond to this manhunt for at least one maybe two days, which for all intents and purposes gave the ghost bf a head start. They, the NPPD has never denied this.
During there absence, whomever was running the show allowed the PIO to hold news conferences where he stated that the BF was a person of interest, POI in what??? Yes she was deceased, but they didn't know that. He let the BF know they were looking at him and the bf lawyered up, anyone in a similar situation would do the same. When the two chiefs finally did return, they held a press conference, why, simply because, why they were at there party, things spun out of control and it was now national coverage. Now you have the Police chief at a podium, stumbling thru a prepared statement and asked if they new where the BF was he stated we know where he is, which was not the truth. The BF split town days prior, actually when the chiefs were still poolside. Yesterday a local news channel asked the NPPD about this and the comment was we we don't know if he was there or not. Remember now, no actual crime was committed in NP or in Florida. The GF body was found in Wyoming, well out of NPPD jurisdiction. Now the manhunt, 8 days of searching the reserve, why ? Simply because the staging of the car or alleged staging as reported by the bf parents. He left home in the car, with any provisions, money or xtra clothing. They retrieved the car and bought it home. Now simply put, the BF was alleged by the chief knew where the bf was, why didn't they get a warrant and place a GPS on the cars, surveil the house front and rear or place motion cameras, two officers 24 hrs a day would have noticed the bf leaving, if in fact that was the truth, no the chiefs decided to have a 70 man and machine manhunt which as reported by the news was over a million dollars of taxpayers monies spent, to no avail. Fiscal irresponsibility at its worst, 2 men on house surveillance vs 70 men in snake gator infested swamps. They had nothing to go on except the statement of the parents who lied and deceived them from day one. Simply put it was a desperate attempt at catching up on lost time (2days). Let us make mention of the so called posse and the lynch mobs per se which to this day are still outside the bf parents house, out of towners looking for 15 mins of fame. On there bullhorns, in the road and yet NPPD did not do there job and disperse them, creating more mayhem. I am not defending the BF parents but how about the quality of life of the neighbors and actual NP residents, simply irresponsible police work. There are standard procedures in case like these, it was a FBI case from day one, NPPD should have never grandstanded and went public on this without the FBI there, they were not the lead agency. After the 8 day search, suddenly, it is reported that the FBI took over the search, wonder why. This situation was botched from day one, it was never a NPPD case and not one dime of taxpayers monies should have been spent on this. It was a tragedy, but one that occurred in another state, the ghost bf is gone, where abouts unknown and we the tax payers, simply because of our inept police leadership are flipping the bill. The city administration have there heads burried in the sand so we really don't expect anything to result from this. No hey we screwed up or we could have done better etc. The arrogance runs deep. Well it is what it is, maybe the dog will find him
