Just morbid questions. I mean I’m not some CEO, just an averge person. Just wondered how seriously is my death even gonna be investigated. (Or is nobody even gonna care, like how my parents probably won’t even care if I died)

    Would depend on how you were murdered.

    In the street with many cameras and witnesses, pretty high chance.

    In your home with no cameras and no forced entry, very low.

      In the street with many cameras and witnesses, pretty high chance.

      lets say, hypothetically some rando walks up and caps you, exactly like Luigi did the CEO. it took, probably, millions, or hundreds of thousands of dollars in terms of cop-hours, and a lot of that is straight up overtime. then there’s things like draining the pond in central park, or whatever. the divers. the chasing down faulty leads.

      and none of that was actually useful.

      what got him in the end was the media campaign pushing his face (well. supposedly his face. there’s holes in that story.) in front of everyone. And the only reason it had massive media campaign was because Luigi whacked some asshole who was a real prick, even by Health Care CEO standards, and that made it news.

      they’re actually more likely to figure out the other, because there’s going to be a handful of people who have access to your place. Whoever has keys becomes suspect. Or whoever was in the place. at the very least, no forced entry means you knew the person, at least enough to open the door for them. (Pizza guy?) that’s more than they had on Luigi until the McDonalds lady called it in.

      (Seriously. Unless they have a continuous footage of him, spliced together from one camera to the next, never leaving it, then they matched Luigi’s face to a pair of eyebrows on grainy video. Sure they might have DNA or something more now, but those photos were a joke. as they say. “he fit a description”. a blurry, pixelated description.)

          No, they wouldn’t.

          They would have found somebody else who “fit a description.”

          To my knowledge there was no real reason to believe the guy in the second two photos were the shooter.

          They didn’t have a solid “he goes here, here and here” timeline on him (or they would have known he went to the bus port much sooner.)

          Mayve he wanted to get caught so they wouldn’t blame a scapegoat?

          Or maybe he is the scapegoat.

          🤷‍♂️

          (If Luigi is the perpetrator, maybe he wanted to get caught so his manifesto gets in the news?)

      Okay so what if this scenario: [Hypothetical, I’m not in this situation, yet]

      I have an argument at home with family members, and someone got pissed.

      They:

      [1] kills me while I sleep

      or

      [2] poisons my food

      I mean, I do have diagnosed depression (but never told my therapist/doctors about my suicidal idealization), so could they potentially fake a suicide?

          Becase family is most often at fault. So the easy answer is right. But when it isn’t family it is much harder to guess who might have done it.

        This is sounding oddly specific. OP, please don’t kill your family member.

        Edit: Actually, I’d like to add something. If you were to suffocate someone with a pillow or poison them, both of them would point to foul play, which would instantly pull in a list of possible suspects. In that list, the ones with motive would be investigated a bit more: ie, had a spat before the death. And from the on, it would be up to match evidence, now that an investigator knows what they’re looking for, it won’t take long to put 2 and 2 together.
