Daily News | Why victims’ families investigate cases themselves | Morning Newsletter
In Philadelphia, when someone is killed in a homicide, the lone victims assistance officer in the Police Department’s Homicide Unit initially helps families coordinate logistics like obtaining death certificates.
But after, homicide detectives are largely responsible to communicate with loved ones and update them on the investigation.“Leaving us in limbo is more harmful than the pain we already feel from losing our child,” Kathi Camp, a mother who lost her 26-year-old, said. “It’s like we don’t matter.” It’s the reason why some families take matters into their own hands. With little hope that the police is pursuing the case, loved ones often canvass blocks, pass out fliers and march through the city to raise awareness and find leads.
