I'm not sure if they just don't understand forensics/dna AT ALL, or they know they have nothing but they continue to process a dead end just to spend money or make the documentary. But damn every scene with detectives is "This is better than nothing." Or "This may be nothing." Or "This might mean something but maybe not."
"We don't want to put all our eggs in one basket... But we are only going to look for red trucks for the next 20 years."
Basically they are laser focused on "A red truck" that was maybe at the scene. But no adults saw it. And the kids saw it but it may be completely unrelated. So they are going to look at red trucks until the taxpayer money runs out.
Not follow other leads. Not take a SINGLE LESSON from the Wetterling case.
(Here is a hint: The guy that killed Wetterling comitted other crimes BEFORE he killed. He built up to murder, then stopped. He molested others in increasingly risky and violent ways.)
The detectives looking for Morgan's killer are looking at less risky incidents that happened 3 weeks later. No one kills a child and then makes bumbling drunken attempts to chat with another 3 weeks later. It was a crime of opportunity. Look at what happened before. He has been toying around child hunting long before the opportunity came.
If they looked beyond "red truck" they might see something.
