Not to be a downer, but cops will pretend to know less than they do in order to lure their target into a false sense of security, make them think they've already won, that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure they already know who the guy is and they're waiting for him to become more convenient to capture. I would LOVE to be proven wrong and that the Bicycle Assassin is legit eluding the authorities.
I'm hoping the assassin is already in a country that doesn't extradite to the US
Cops in NYPD have an atrocious clearance rate for homicides.
But yes, they are likely trying to lure them into a false sense of security, by declaring the little evidence they have, which honestly, is all pretty circumstantial. No gun, no charge, essentially. Especially or a white person in NYC.
My hopes are that this gun came from a library, and has 10 deaths on it, already, which would put more investigative manpower behind THOSE deaths.
That clearance rate is so low because cops don't give a shit though. They're gonna give a shit about a capitalist
I think it's more due to incompetence, myself. They didn't solve the last hot job in Manhattan, either, and pretty sure he was a broker at a hedge fund.
They're also incompetent, I'm just saying the clearance rate could easily be higher if they actually did their job as it's described
Their bosses are, but they aren't.
If anything they'll find some poor guy to drag in.
No, it's because it's actually extremely difficult to find someone who covers their tracks well.
I can't believe the clearance rate is just 56% right now. In most countries it is closer to 80 or even 90%. In the UK they have the highest clearance rates for murder, even if the killer and victim were strangers.
If he’s smart (which it seems like he is,) he changed clothes immediately after leaving the scene and then got the fuck out of Manhattan (and hopefully out of NYC entirely) 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
He could wear two sets of clothes on top of each other. Like double pants and stuff. That way he can strip off a layer and no one will know what he looks like since they only knew one layer. Also shoe prints can easily be destroyed by putting tape on the sole, which renders any shoe prints unusable.
