Not nearly as much as this poor fellow who was found encased in 2-3 feet of ice.

lol.. nice article too.

Half the damn thing was about how bad Detroit is and not the actual guy stuck in the ice.

And then you look next to the article and there's a contest about who can write the best song about Detroit.

I found it humorous.

Detroit is such a pest hole, and yet they can give away 5 grand to some random nobody who makes a 'feel-good' song about detroit. Feeling better without any of the work!

The report lacks the vital information. Who is the person anyway? Did the citizens of Detroit even check his DNA or anything? Did any of his relatives search for him? I think the report was nothing but saying some stuff about their city, Detroit. This leads me to a conclusion that Detroit citizens are retards or Detroit has bad investigators and journalists.

Checking DNA takes WEEKS.

Considering that he is frozen, I wouldn't be surprised if they have an even harder time.

Besides, how many people do you think disappear in a city like Detroit every year/month?

While they're retarded for not jumping on that corpse like they should have, you shouldn't expect miracles.

That city should be leveled and everyone should just admit it needs a "retry". Its such a haven of crime, drugs, corruption and poverty, i honestly find it odd anyone actually wants to live there at all. Much of the place is reminiscent of a city experiencing a nuclear fallout for crying out loud. With the hundreds of abandoned decrepit dirty buildings and streets.

-sigh-...

Well, I don't really know much about Detroit or any other city in the United States since I don't really live there. But still, to me, it looks like nobody in that city really cared about what happened to the man. It appears to me as the journalists just need something to report or they will get fired.

You know, you should go to your nearest mall, like, right now.

I hear they're having a sale on clues.

Since hakker kind of didnt answer your question..

It is one of the most dangerous city's in America with a bad homelessness problem and plenty of crime.. It was once bustling and thriving, and a decent place to live at one point.

I wont go into the factors that changed that, but its safe to say its not a very nice place to be anymore. In truth, the people he interviewed really -didnt- care that much about the body being there. I take the article as being more so a fine point on the current times in the city rather than the body itself. Indifference to death and disease, reluctant police/firefighter force.

It's just a bad place.
