What do you think the chances are of USF getting involved in searching for these lost graves? They've done work searching for graves at the Dozier Boys school in north Florida and it seems their resources could be used in this situation.

I'm curious: Are most of the detectives who investigated these cases men? And has anyone in the course of your reporting suggested that detective bureaus, particularly crimes against persons divisions, should be more diverse gender-wise -- that maybe that would help address problems like these? I'm also wondering if anyone has suggested rape cases should be assigned to another group of detectives altogether -- detectives who specialize in that crime and aren't distracted by homicides, robberies, missing children cases, etc. Thank you for the AMA and for this story.

Thank you for answering so quickly! I'll be keeping an eye on this. Very interesting. And sad, of course.

Have you all learned of any efforts by the state of Florida to do something about these flaws since your stories have been published?
