I'm not sure if SPD would seek Vidocq's participation into the investigation, even if a family member asked for their help. They don't seem to want the FBI to help as the FBI has said that they have not been asked.
MHP is another matter though. They don't have to be asked by SPD in order to enter the case. I hope that is happening now.
That is good to know that the Missouri Highway Patrol, a very competent law enforcement agency, could take this case and run with it. I do recall to the best of my recollection, however, that I was told by the current Sheriff of Greene County in 1992, who was then with the MHP that their help was said to be unneeded by the SPD. Go figure.
I've said forever that this case will only be solved when the political will of those higher up the food chain than the group running the investigation in the SPD are moved out of the way. I see nothing in the history of the investigation to give me comfort that they are up to the task of solving this case. I certainly hope the MHP gets involved and does what is required to move this case off dead center. The case is rapidly moving into the Jimmy Hoffa and Judge Crater category. If the truth be known, we know more about who "Jack the Ripper" was than who committed this crime. And we now almost certainly know who committed the "Black Dahlia" murder as new evidence has emerged but we know precious little about this case except it isn't getting solved. I hope you are right. It is long overdue.
