The law enforcement response to Kevin Graves's disappearance was deeply flawed, characterized by a failure to treat the case seriously and a biased attitude toward the victim's life choices.

“In my opinion and again this is my opinion the people investigating this case I don't think ever really took Kevin's disappearence that seriously at all and I think they failed to consider some pretty important factors”

The initial response to the assassination investigation by the FBI was incompetent and unorganized.

“Okay, just right off the bat here, this is flatout amateur hour. Total amateur hour.”

Melissa Mccardi claims that the 911 dispatcher made a reckless error by failing to immediately alert Memphis police to the shooting.

“It was an astounding and reckless error, one that hurt the subsequent investigation badly. Once Memphis police were notified, they traced the call and found the body in a remote meadow.”
