It's been 3 months and 2 days when 3 young mexican kids came in my home with shotguns. My son died instantly, my husband died 3 weeks later. We know who killed them. We have identified them. we found them from their myspace accounts. but, the police here have decided that those pictures arent't clear enough. Give me a break, do i have to walk up and take a snop shot? I believe the police aren't going to make an arrest. These little punks will walk free.

It's now 10 months and till no arrests. The police know who killed my son and husband. They had one of the kids in custody and let him go. The reason: the detective didn't have a file hold on him. Makes no sense. They have finger prints, 6 witnesses, names, addresses. What else do they need? I live in the 5th largest city in the country, but, our police dept. is worthless. You can kill two people and walk, but, get caught with drugs, or suspicion of drugs, and they lock you away. Not that i am for drug use, but, addiction is an illness, murder is not. I guess I am very angry, very jaded, and at the end of my rope. I thought I was doing the right thing by lketting the ciops handle this, i guess i was wrong.

Hi Lisa, This makes no sense to me either, that they even have fingerprints and do nothing. I found what city you say you are in another of your posts. There is a POMC group there - I don't know if you have looked into that or not. I know the one I used to go to near me was a great support - it helped me to be able to talk to others face to face too. Of course any group is only as good as the members and interaction, but I never knew until I tried - and I think in the long run it is one of the things that helped me most. However, I did not even have the energy to go until after trials, so I know that can take a while too - it did for me. Here is the link to that group that is on the POMC website: www.pomc.com/phoenix/index.html I clicked on the July newsletter, and there is a section about "Free legal aide to help assert victims' rights through ASU College of Law & Arizona Voice for Crime Victims" with contact names, phone numbers and email addresses. I wonder if someone there could possibly help you in dealing with the police on pushing for some activity on this case - or at the very least helping you to find out anything it might be your right to know. They also appear to have support group meetings on both the east side and west side of town, maybe someone there to talk to face to face about all this as well? It might be. Maybe they can help somehow? I don't know. I wish I could do more.

Hello Janet-Beth's Mom, Thank you for the information you have give me. I hope this will help me. I am so tired of feeling alone and victimized again. The 'Victim Advocates" that the police department employ do nothing to help. For some reason they seem to think that helping victims is not in their job description. Thank you again. I will keep you informed

I will keep you informed I hope so very much you do find some help from those Victim Assistance contacts in the newsletter, and some friendly faces who understand if you try the support group. Even though it has been several years since I went to the POMC support group in Fort Worth (they are not there anymore), there are still some people from that group that I email with.
