The Investigation (2002 TV Movie)
10/10
More movies like this should be made.
28 January 2020
Exposes the weakness of legal practice, enforcement and prosecution. What is wrong with everyone else but the 2 main officers - the blond RCMP, and the detective with the mustache. Everyone else dosent care there are active missing kids and some now starting to show up dead. Wow, I mean I know you get descencetized in a job like that but come on! These homicides all could have been prevented by the investigators if they wernt blocked by their own agencies to do the work they WANTED to do. They were chest bumped and red taped every time an obvious correlation to this man was suggested by one of them. Its like the more they showed something was supsicious with this man the less everyone else communicated with them. Thats so absolutely backwards. Some of the higher up just seemed jealous of the young officers ability to see connections to the suspect and scoff at the "young rookie transfer who will just have to learn you cant just get special OPs at the snap of your finger, sometime you just wont get it at all". Im sorry but WTF??? Pride , egos, smugness, incompitence, even seemed like competition for some of then all got in the way and god rest these victims, all those involved (except for the 2) should be ashamed of themselves. That is a horrible display if character and quite frankly sickning thar its everyone acting like that (except the 2). Should have just "lay them out and measure" at the beginning and then would have saved some of those poor kids. Imagine how hard it is for the victims family. Imagine how scared those kids were and how terrifying it would be to have this torture you and painfully kill you. I wonder if any of the people worried about their own kids when they gave the smart officers the run around. Dosent seem so. When the one guy from the diffrent investigating agency came in and told mustache detective snarkily - "what are you doing with 'joint forces', you need to get special OP" , - um ya exactly what he has been trying to get since day one and got road block after roadblock from basically all law enforcements available to help just said no and passed the buck, and then this guys has the audacity to say on his way out - " oh yea and by the way we got a huge clue and we have a MEETING ARRANGED with the accused".....mustache detective, is like um what? Nobody tells me ? When ist this meeting?.....when the other officer said "2 hours", I swear I threw my OJ i was drinking right into his face on the TV. Its unbelievable. Its still like this in Canada, how scary it is to be a victim here. " Hookers cant be victims"?, "one time a victim and 2nd time a volunteer"? The whole system needs an overhaul but whos gonna do it when each office has only 5 % of the staff are motivated and driven to be collaborative and come together to create solutions when current practices are obviously broken or just straight up useless. Shame on the law enforment agencies of canada that "ill file that request tomorrow" , or " we cant budget for that" is more important than saving a life. Exposing this problem is not negative, its the only path to a positve future in this whole system. Make more movies that show this, its a powerful form of exposure, and maybe even a way to curb this problem.
