Time for the police to shut up and catch crooks

Last week Karen Matthews, a venal and stupid woman, was found guilty of the kidnap of her daughter Shannon - because she wanted the £50,000 reward.

Detective Superintendent Andy Brennan said on the steps of the court: “Karen Matthews is pure evil."

Am I alone in not caring what the Super has to say? His job is to catch criminals, not to make public statements. His force was hardly covered in glory - it took them 24 days to find Shannon. Aren't the family supposed to be the first suspects when a child goes missing? The police didn't too much digging in that direction.
