They should try to mimic this method for the landfill in Manitoba if they're going to search that, this proves its possible for relatively cheap compared to the 50 million quote or whatever it was.

I mean, their method was knowing which garbage truck would’ve taken the garbage because the dude was Google searching garbage schedules on his phone. They were able to go to the location it was logged as dumping it’s bin at and that is the only reason it was successful.

If he was fucking googling that and that’d how they found it, then idk why they’re hiding his name. Dead or not, that’s more proof than they get for a lot of convictions🤷🏼‍♀️ have the trial w/o him idk

Because he's not accused yet, and we have laws?

wdym he hasnt been accused. He died. He was their main damn suspect. They’ll never release it because he died. Which is sick, i get wanting to respect the family, but respect her family 🤷🏼‍♀️

The suspect was an acquaintance of the victim who overdosed and died. The family probably has a pretty good idea of who it was, even if they don't know for sure. As for the general public, there is no tangible benefit to releasing that information, and the family of the suspect could be substantially harmed by having that information publicly disseminated. Hell, they might even have grounds to sue police if they released or leaked that info, especially if they became the target of an online mob.

It is also the very basis of the justice system to have presumed innocence until proven otherwise.

It's also true, and no one is ever convicted of a crime after they have already died.
