Because when you look in the various statutes and civil codes and codes of civil procedure in any state, none of them say “please disregard this mandate if the families want to do something different”. The purpose of a criminal justice system is to use scarce resources to obtain the best, quickest, most cost effective means to find and punish criminals. That’s it.
And then there’s the fact that families reacting in a situation like this are at their most emotional and least rational and intelligent state. It’s generally best not to hand over the driving wheel to the most emotional and unintelligent person in the car.
During my time as an ATO at Florida, we went up to Tallahassee for a social with the Chi Omega sorority. The afternoon and evening before the social and the Bundy attack some of them, my fraternity brother and I with some the Chi Os at an apartment complex pool area.
Needless to say, the social did not happen the following day.
I was working at Florida’s Library West at the time, and for a while I had many sorority girls ask me to walk them home when the library closed because everyone was terrified of Bundy.
I enthusiastically embraced that role of ‘you are safe with me’ guy. I’m not sure how I can explain that but….

I’ve read that a very, very, very unattractive stripper is the most interesting stripper. Because of the type of jobs that they are forced to accept because of their unattractiveness. So they wind up beingmuch better luncheon conversation companions, what with the midget, sharpie and donkey stories and so forth..
