Just morbid questions. I mean I’m not some CEO, just an averge person. Just wondered how seriously is my death even gonna be investigated. (Or is nobody even gonna care, like how my parents probably won’t even care if I died)
Depends, are you a CEO?
I’m the ceo of An Absolute Nobody Inc. but its unrecognized by the government. Not sure if this counts.

You have a better chance of your case not being resolved if someone just straight up shot you in a crowded area before they make a getaway. The bigger the crowd, the chances are higher. Because people will spend more time scattering and getting the fuck away from possibly being shot too.
That last by-the-bye got me. I’ll bite.
Sounds like you’re having a tough time at the moment. There are some good communities here if you’re needing a virtual hug bigger than I can give.
Hopefully your throwaway line is just that you’ve had a fixable row with them and are cooling off somewhere else.
Best wishes this Christmas, one and all.
Hmmm… Are you a pretty, blonde white woman?
Unless they are really stupid they are never gonna be caught.
Sorry to say, but the average investigation looks absolutely nothing like it does on TV. NYC has 9000 unsolved murder cases right now. So the odds are pretty good that they wouldn’t even look for your killer.
plus most investigation is filling out a report and filing it away.
Was there a security camera at the murder location?
Yes.
Do we have the footage?
No.
I guess this case is unsolvable. Next!
Prob never, because I’m not that stupid enough to leave evidence
Would there be anything about your case to pique the interest of podcasters?
Probably not…
Guess I’ll just be a cold case. 🙃
Where said murder happens is a very important detail. Murdered on a roadway without any cameras for kilometers on end? Yeah, better believe nobody will find out the culprit. Murdered while visiting a different country? The chances might increase, but not much.
Who kills you also matters. Was it a cop or some rich asshole? It’s likely he’ll be found out quick, but will be acquitted for some shit reason or legal loophole.
Generally speaking, there is about a 50% chance that they’ll solve it at all.
98% of the murders that are solved will be solved within a year.
Also significant that the vast majority of solved murders are committed by someone you know. The FBI stats have <10% of solved murders being committed by strangers. It’s impossible to know what percentage of unsolved murders were committed by strangers, but it’s clear the odds are not in your favor if it isn’t somebody the police can add to their list just by asking around.
While that conclusion is probably true, I don’t think you can conclude that from the data.
How long is a piece of string? Depends entirely on the specific case. For example, if you’re murdered in front of witnesses, the answer will be very different than if you simply disappear mysteriously without anyone finding your body.
Are you trying to be murdered?
Nah, just want to know how important I am.
Like, if I get murdered and became a ghost, and see that my murderer actually getting caught, I’d at least feel like my life had some worth, since somebody actually cared enough to investigate my murder.
Old people have died in new york city apartments, only to be found several months later because of the smell of the corpse.
I don’t know the statistics, but are most murders even solved? And if they are, it’s probably because most murders happen when people are angry and do stupid things with zero planning.
One of my grandfathers was murdered several years before I was born. He ran an off licence (small grocery store), when robbers took money and still used a shotgun to his face at point blank.
I believe it took around 20 years to catch one of them, with the accomplice having passed away from other causes years prior to the capture.
There have been a few attempted murders of friends/neighbours, over the years here, without anything coming of it.
I’m not within any profession to be providing a direct answer to your question, however in my mind I don’t believe there would be much effort provided for most people. I say this with some confidence, after seeing how much is provided to the rich in comparison to, well, everyone else… Rather sad realisations, ngl.
Fucking hell mate. Where do you live that’s so rough? There’s around 600 murders a year in the country I live (UK).
That said I don’t think there’d be much effort to investigate here either, the police just default to saying things are a civil matter these days.
Greater London. When people think of London they usually forget the areas on the outskirts. Just a lot of gang activity. Earlier this year someone got stabbed metres from my living room window, however they survived. All of my friends who have moved away have expressed being considerably happier.
I mean Alabama alone has around 700 murders a year.
Yeah well Cleetus needs to stop knocking up sheriff’s wives and mistaking them for his cousins
If you aren’t important and the perp halfway knows what they’re doing - never. A majority of murders are never solved, you’d just become a statistic.
To be clear, “important” in this context is how much companies are affected financially by your death.
You could have a raft of friends and family that would be devastated by your passing, but if none of them have political or financial influence, it would purely depend on how
overworkedbored the police are and how easy it is to solve the case.
