    Those are rescue operations. In those cases even if they are ‘presumed dead’ there is a chance of recovery.

    Searching the landfill for long dead bodies is not a rescue operation. These are very different scenarios.

      OK. Here’s the same situation then:

      • “Beginning Monday and for up to nine weeks, dozens of Valley officers will be searching there for Christine Mustafa’s remains.”
      • “After months of searching at a massive garbage dump, Toronto police have located the body of a 57-year-old man who they believe was murdered this past winter.”
      • “Officers had been searching the Coffin Bute Landfill in Corvallis since Friday as part of a homicide investigation.”
      • “For the second time in less than 18 months, authorities from New York combed a landfill in Somerset County Monday, looking for the body of a slain woman whose alleged killer abandoned her little girl on a Queens street.”
      • “New landfill search for woman’s body likely after fugitive’s capture, confession”
      • “Goggles, protective suits: Cops search Michigan landfill for teen’s body”

      This was a trivial Google search to find. It turns out searching landfills for homicide victims is pretty normal. Except if you’re a Canadian native.

        White chicks like Christine Mustafa and a 57 year old man, got it.

          Oh for fuck’s sake!

          I’m showing that searching landfills isn’t unusual you utter fucking cretin! Grow the fuck up and just admit you were WRONG on whether or not this was a common thing or not, you dimwitted twatwaffle!

            It should be unusual. It’s dangerous and it doesn’t make sense to risk lives to recover a body. maybe if it was super recent, you had an idea where the body was AND it would be very likely to lead to stopping a mass murderer or something. Certainly not for ‘closure’ or ‘peace of mind’.

            But don’t pretend you aren’t moving the goalposts from ‘they would only search if it was a white chick’ either.
