Why doesn't the US gov investigate and prosecute all the people on Epstein's video tapes found in his New York mansion? When you give me the answer to that you will have the answer to your question. You are asking the right questions Obi One.

San Francisco exhaustively investigates when people are murdered on the street, no matter who the victim is. They have a 94% clearance rate for homicides.

  94% feels low when they are determining suicide in only 40s

Someone notable, unambiguously murdered in broad daylight, with ample surveillance footage to go off of, is far easier to justify spending investigative resources on than an apparent suicide maybe being a murder. As the saying goes: "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras"

  You’re just reiterating the parent commenters point, the first reason you listed was that he was “notable”. It would not be hard to find cases of unambiguous murder that go unsolved or under-investigated due to lack of notoriety.

  There was a brown kid stabbed to death in NYC the same day. No resources were expended to find his killer.

    What about the migrant killed? NYT didn’t even report it.

    Yeremi Colino, 17, stabbed to death in a fight between two street gangs. The police have published photos of the murderers but evidently nobody in that community wants to say anything about who they are. NYPD claims they are putting resources into catching them, but how was the CEO killer caught? Some random member of the public turned him in.

      Yes and unfortunately there's a saying that goes something like snitches get stitches. Talking to the cops is the last thing many people want to do.

        Which is just another way of saying that the police will not protect informants or regular citizens from many kinds of crime. The police say they're underfunded and cannot do so. Which makes this a policy decision.

        How do you really expect the police to do so? Even the secret service can't stop presidential candidates from getting shot at, and you can't possibly expect the police to provide anything approaching that level of security.

That's NYC. Interesting thing about NYC is that they have a lot of cops. I mean a lot. $11B spent on policing and the police to resident ratio is 1:162. Compare that with Boise, ID say where residents pay half per person as much but the police to resident ratio is 1:563.
