Yeah, and that's pretty much my point. When Crowshoe went missing the police were doing open houses, going through surveillance tapes, asking to see every item sold at the estate, going door-to-door to talk to neighbours, walking through fields etc. A lot of man power would have been allocated to the disappearance/murder of the 5 year old.
Unfortunately for the Crowshoe family, and any other capable adult who went missing, it might have been simply been bad timing. Limited resources and a hefty chunk being used on the investigation of the disappearance/murder of a a 5 year old. In Crowshoe's case there didn't even seem to be any evidence to indicate foul play until the discovery of the body.
