    Nobody cracks a case, or tells a very coherent or useful story. ... No one currently employed by the FBI, BIA or the various police departments offers any official comment on the cases, which makes it easier for implications to go unanswered. ...

It's not until episode 3 that the subjects making these arguments concede that the crimes being discussed may well be Crow-on-Crow, a little late for objectivity.
