You mean that you don't want to stay on this case until you retire?
Seriously, I feel for you. It must be frustrating to keep getting dragged back to this when crimes have been committed against normal, everyday people.
I see two possibilities here. Either Fossett is dead or alive. If he's dead, it's not your problem. If he's alive, it's still not your problem because any crimes involved are most likely outside your jurisdiction. Still, your department's finite resources keep getting sucked into this black hole due primarily to the stature of the victim.
Cheer up! Hopefully, you aren't in charge, and won't have to defend the budget at the next commission hearing.
