Did anyone else notice how strange it is that the Buffalo PD is handling Carrie Heath's case, even though she went missing in Oakland? I'm genuinely puzzled as to why that would be. I know she was originally from Buffalo, but that seems like an odd jurisdiction jump unless there were specific reasons. Has anyone come across similar cases where the missing person's hometown police take over from where they disappeared? I'm wondering if there's a policy or something I'm missing here. Could this indicate that they have some kind of lead or evidence that ties back to NY? I'd love to hear thoughts or insights from anyone familiar with this kind of situation.
I was just reading about the Carrie Heath case, and something struck me as odd. Why is the Buffalo Police Department involved in her investigation if she went missing from Mills College in Oakland? I know she had some connections to Buffalo, but wouldn't it make more sense for Oakland PD to take the lead? I’m wondering if there's some background info or ties to Buffalo that haven’t been publicly shared. Maybe she was planning to travel there, or had family reaching out to BPD early on? It just seems like an extra hurdle when jurisdiction isn't clear. Anyone else have thoughts or info on cases where jurisdiction is split like this?
Has anyone else looked into the strange jurisdictional twist in Carrie Heath's case? I find it really perplexing that while she disappeared from Mills College in Oakland, it's the Buffalo PD that's in charge of her investigation. Could there be a connection between Carrie and Buffalo that just hasn't been revealed to the public yet? I feel like this might be a key part of the puzzle, but the info available is limited. Maybe someone with local knowledge or insight into how jurisdictional issues are usually handled in missing persons cases can shed some light? It just feels off, and I can't stop wondering if a crucial detail is being missed because of this.
