A murder investigation is like a life: It has a beginning, middle, and end. As in life, you never know what point you’re at until it’s over. Sometimes it ends before it’s barely started, and sometimes it seems to go on forever, until it dies a natural death or is abandoned.

The only difference is that, unlike life, an investigation is about reaching the end of the shit, and knowing that you have. Though sometimes I wonder if life might not be that way too.
