Which kind of excuse is that? They are just at bad as the supervisor covering this up. And for personal gain even.

Yeah you’re right. I find a body in the mall, I’m not going to mall security; I’m going to the murder police. To me all of this sounds like simple laziness on everyone’s part.

  Everyone says that, but no one puts themselves in the shoes of the person discovering the body. I'd probably be OK if I did this. But let's pretend I'm a two-time convicted felon. I've done my time and gotten out. I still have to report into my parole officer. But I've found a job that is steady work and pays well enough that I'm living comfortably. As long as I don't get involved in something criminal, I'll be OK. Do you really want to call the police and say "So yeah, about that body hidden in a crawl space..."

    I don't follow. It's not criminal to report a potential crime to the police. What about putting oneself in the shoes of the dead person. Unburied, next of kind uninformed, potential perpetrator going free. I would hope that if my remains were found randomly that they would be dealt with properly.

    What. This logic is straight up paranoid. Even if I have a record, even if I’m on parole, I call the murder police just to get it on the record ASAP. They don’t care about my record, my parole officer doesn’t give a shit as long as they sign off on it. Either that or I just straight up pretend I didn’t see anything and let someone else find it. Main point being - I don’t take it up with mall/school/shop security.

      Have you ever been accused of murder?

The article even says they finally went public about it when UCB stopped giving them business. As Upton Sinclair remarked, "It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on it." I believe this is the explanation for many climate deniers, for example.
