years since Ms Gary’s murder. My partner is short but very built his name is Detective Jake Jansen. Rewita Biddle, the victim, had his cheek slit open and he had been stabbed several times.

For police to resolve a murder they need evidence and enough to put a suspect behind bars. Acquiring this evidence can cost a lot of money. For example JonBenet’s investigation cost a total of two million…
