What they’re saying

“I was sad that an 84-year-old woman was abducted without her meds. Her heart monitor stopped. I didn't think the crime scene was handled properly. They didn't secure the crime scene in a way I thought they should. I don't think they got all the information they could have from the crime scene.”
