LAPD Detective Convicted of 1986 Murder

[Lily]

The victim's family, repeatedly told the LAPD that this cop was the killer, but they refused to listen. My question is: why didn't they go to the media? That would almost certainly have got the killer convicted at the time. The victim's friend complained that she had never even been contacted by the police. Well, hello! Why didn't she contact them, and then when she saw it wasn't going anywhere, contact the LA Times? I don't want to be an armchair quarterback here, but I just don't understand their lack of action.

Looks like a cover-up.
