Just morbid questions. I mean I’m not some CEO, just an averge person. Just wondered how seriously is my death even gonna be investigated. (Or is nobody even gonna care, like how my parents probably won’t even care if I died)

    Also significant that the vast majority of solved murders are committed by someone you know. The FBI stats have <10% of solved murders being committed by strangers. It’s impossible to know what percentage of unsolved murders were committed by strangers, but it’s clear the odds are not in your favor if it isn’t somebody the police can add to their list just by asking around.

      While that conclusion is probably true, I don’t think you can conclude that from the data.
