However, why not publish a story or two on your blog that you actually know how it was resolved? I would assume there must be a few. Thanks! I understand what you are saying. However,

We actually close our own cases, and issue certificates. I think that for myself, in some cases giving the family some answers can be just as beneficial. I especially gain some measure of comfort in knowing that my part, however small, played some role in the eventual prosecution of an offender. The downside is when that case doesn't go the way you'd like. Lost court cases can cause you to ask yourself difficult questions, regardless of the reason for the unsuccessful prosecution. Keep up the good work and interesting postings. While i can see your point of “blissful ignorance” in our particular agency, we usually are involved until the very end of the case.

No one person can be expected to do everything. Like the soldiers in Iraq now... they do what they do, and they do it well. Just like the soldiers in the Korean War did. The soldiers in the Korean war, are just now, getting to go back and see the fruits of their labor... and most, are amazed 9 in a good way) by what they see. All we can do, is chose our path, ask of the universe every now and then 'is this right?...Is this OK?", and if the answer is yes... then continue. It is a pleasure to read the writings of a person who does much good, yet knows, that one person cannot know everything. You do what you can. If you try to do what you cannot... then you end up as a "cautionary tale."... which is I suppose, one way to be remebered... but not the best. I love reading what you chose to write, it gives me a glimpse into a world I only write or think about, and do not actually KNOW. And what you chose NOT to write, does the same. Do keep doing, what you do. Well, good for you! No one person can be expected to do everything.

It's likely a good thing that all these cases don't stick with you, or you'd never get any sleep. I'm just glad enough of them do to keep you writing. I really enjoy your site and stories.

During my brief tenure as a counseling psychologist, I heard enough stuff to keep me in nightmare city for a long time. There is so much "bad stuff" out there...it's so very disturbing. Thanks for the clarification. Your writing style is riveting...I really got sucked in on that one. Well, it’s probably just as well that you don’t retain all of them.

If you did not, it might drive you crazy. Coming from a home with siblings who are police officers and a couple of MD's, it is how it is............. But for the record most people either find your line of work fascinating or they dislike it. I find it very interesting! I can certainly relate to being ‘blissfully ignorant’ on some issues.
