Now, more affluent communities will normally have more police, fire, and ambo assets than average, same as better schools and roads.I spent over thirty years as a police officer, the last eight in command of all investigative operations for my department. How police agencies respond to murders is dependant entirely upon the community attitude as a whole, the nature of the victim, and the circumstances.For example, if an addict or known dealer catches a round in the areas of town where dope changes hands, priority and case budget will be low, interest routine. If a middle class person is killed in a nice residential area, the emphasis and resources will be high. And so forth. It has various titles, such as Social Value Index.  The USA has between 15k-24k murders (depending on whose standards you follow) per year. Less than 40% result in a conviction (in some areas, as low as 18%). So finding bodies is not as exciting as you think it might be.   In an era of organ harvesting as a criminal activity, finding bodies like that would be routine.</blockquote>
