Watched it yesterday. Grew up not far from there, remember the Friendswood girl pretty vividly when it happened. The Killing Fields are well known around here.

It's very close. Just north of the park I think. When I was a kid it was wide open ranch land.

This is basically where that huge softball park Big League Dreams is now built?

Sure. Also, I understand it's a one sided documentary. But, assuming this part wasn't fabricated....If my daughter, who had a health issue that required daily medicine, went missing and I reported it, but the police told me she's partying or a runaway and not to worry about her medicine because she can get it on the street, they'd probably have to arrest me as well....Also, telling the families they couldn't talk to each other or go check the lot where they suspected their daughter may be, while not checking it themselves.....schmellba99 said:htxag09 said:

To be fair, back in the 70's, 80's and even into the 90's a lot of local jurisdictions didnt talk to one another.
Inter-department communication and data sharing is fairly new, a lot of it came along with DNA databases and the internet becoming common.
Aren't they planning to build a park over that lot now? in 2024 with additional baseball fields?213 Grove said:MAROON said:

I think it's actually just south of Big League Dreams at the SW corner of Calder and Ervin. I live very close and you can see crosses off in the woods when driving by. Kind of eery
what would be their incentive to being part of this? what benefit would they receive?schmellba99 said:
Don't disagree with that at all, and not saying that the LCPD didn't do as much wrong as it seems they did, just bringing a different aspect to it.
You also have to remember that the 70's and 80's were probably the height of the teenage run-away era. For every case where a kid was legitimately missing, how many ended up being kids that were mad at mom and dad or rebelling or whatever and ran away for some period of time? I can somewhat understand a PD not putting a huge priority over a missing teenager in the first day or so because of the frequency at which it turned out to be not missing back then.
The fact that League City PD refused the opportunity to be a part of the documentary is pretty telling though and no doubt puts them in a bad, bad light. And it sounds like that is an accurate assessment.
Maybe to get a lead on some decades old cases they have ****ed up from the beginning until now. On most of these shows you usually have someone from the responsible PD who's at the bare minimum pleading for leads.MAROON said:what would be their incentive to being part of this? what benefit would they receive?schmellba99 said:

An opportunity to show that they have changed as an institution would be my first inclination.MAROON said:what would be their incentive to being part of this? what benefit would they receive?schmellba99 said:
