I don't really know where to start on this one, so I guess the beginning will have to suffice.
On August 21st my dad was killed in a house fire. From what the detectives have told me explicitly "it wasn't suicide, and it wasnt accidental". They've already told me that they know who did it, but they cant arrest him, he actually was able to move to another province because any and all of the evidence against him burned along with my dad. The detectives have only gone to that other province once to speak with him which is now approaching a year since they've done this. And have told me that the only way they'll be able to arrest him is if he admits it.
So what i'm left with is a phone call once a month from the detectives saying the same crap "we have no news, but we haven't forgotten". Ok sure, then maybe they can explain to me why they're dic*ing around. I was 21 when this happened, my parents are divorced and I have no brothers or sisters, essentially I was left with all this to deal with.
I've been screwed since day one. I did not get to make the ID on him (I live 2 hours away and didn't find out about any of this until police came knocking on my door). They sent him to another major city to be autopsied, and then decided that he "wasn't in viewable condition". And they cremated him. I hadnt seen my dad since the February of 2010, and the last time I spoke with him I hung up on him. And to top it all off I started an accelerated Nursing Program 8 days after his death. But this isn't about me this is about him
Do I have any options here of what I can do? I've gone to the newspapers and they all say they'll do something and to no avail again.
Everyone has told me that I pretty much need to stop thinking that they'll be able to arrest this guy, and move on. But I cant he was my dad, and if this had happened to me he wouldn't stop until the person was caught, or he went vigilante on their a** haha. And even if they arrested him I live in Canada and our justice system is garbage.
Any suggestions?
I cant do this anymore.
Thanks
