I lost My best friend to an unsolved homicide in october of last year. My friends dad thinks he knows who didi it and he has convinced me also. My problem is that since it happened in Phoenix it never made that papers and I can't get any real information on what is happening. I need to know if as a non family member can I get a copy of the police report?? I plan on calling the PPD and trying to get info but I want to know what I can and cant do!! Please help

Hi Tarra, I am so sorry about the loss of your best friend. Losing a best friend can be sos sosososo hard, and often the impact of murder on friends gets overlooked. Hang in there, and know we are here if you need to talk. If the case is closed, I believe you can get access to most stuff. Accessing information about an open homicide case can be extremely difficult. Often, family members can't even get all the information they would like. There can be huge discrepancies in the handling and accessing of information from case to case. I know some survivors that were privy to almost everything, and others who got only the info that made the papers. If you have a hunch, and are interested in specific information, to rule out or validate a specific hunch, the police might appreciate the lead. I say, you have nothing to lose by calling the police and inquiring. Worst they can say is "no". Have you tried working with the family to access information? Hang in there. Good Luck.

I am in constant contact with his dad. but he feels brushed off by the police so I decided to see what options that there were open for him. The case is still open and he is just getting pretty unsympathetic resposes from the detective. He really doesn't care how hwe's treated he just wants the murder solved, but I thought I would see what all we could do. thanks for the reply.
