The body of Robert Paul Owens, 34, was found on Oct. 10 facedown on a lawn of a residence where no one lived and where law enforcement conducted trainings, his family said.
So the guy is found on the grass in front of a property that according to his family, he’s never been to before, wearing only his underwear, and with potential defensive wounds on his arms. And this is just a few hours after he had a friend pick him up. And the police didn’t treat it as a homicide. Didn’t even cordon off the scene to prevent contamination. And the house this guy was found in front of is routinely used for police training.
Am I just being paranoid in assuming he was murdered by one or more cops? I mean… why else would they not investigate? Other than malicious incompetence, of course.
I mean, it could also well be just malicious incompetence covering, well…the regular kind of incompetence. If it turns out multiple cops were in and out of there during that time and all but tripped over a dead guy, that’s not exactly a great look either.
It’s plausible someone dumped him there thinking it was just an abandoned house and not realizing it was as active a location as it was. Or that the poor guy was ODing or something and his ‘friend’ tried to drop him back at his grandma’s, then panicked and dumped him at the first secluded spot he saw when he realized he was dead. By the sounds of it, the wounds on his arms are the only visible wounds on the body (and it was just the random construction worker who found the guy that called them ‘defensive wounds’).
and it was just the random construction worker who found the guy that called them ‘defensive wounds’
Yes, but that just goes to demonstrate my point: the police did jack shit to investigate. Why the hell is the family getting more information from some guy that found their brother / son than from the police?

Sounds at least plausible to me
