I think they have spent huge amounts of money on investigators. The Moxleys are frequently mentioned as a contrast to the Ramseys but there are never any details about what they did that was different. I've read Dunne's and Fuhrman's books on her case and my impression is although they hired investigators in the early years, ultimately they became more or less resigned to the case being forgotten and unsolved. Particularly after Mr. Moxley died. Mrs. Moxley had long since moved to another state and even though the case was out of the public eye she wasn't even sure she wanted Dunne to write a book about it.Nehemiah said:What about the Ramseys? John stated in one of his depos that he would continue to search for the killer (my paraphrase here).
This, in stark contrast to the Moxleys, who persevered for years.
A cousin of mine was brutally murdered. Her sister fought for justice by getting involved in the investigation, court proceedings, etc.. She wrote a book, got on the talk show circuit, just to keep the case in the forefront. When the murderer was up for parole, and when his atty tried to get a mistrial, she and other family were right there...very involved. To this day she remains involved in whatever way necessary to see that justice is maintained. I realize that this is a different case than JBR's murder, but I do wonder why the Rs don't push this case to the front and use some of their money to find the perp rather than try to make themselves "appear" innocent to the general public.
I'm not knocking Dorthy Moxley. From what I've seen this is a fairly typical pattern. The family has to move on with their lives. The evidence continues to not lead anywhere and news outlets aren't interested in covering old news.
