Question J

[Jonetta]

Buzz ruffled feathers when he probed Kimi’s death and suggested it might not be a suicide. He was strongly advised to back off and he made the decision to do so in the best interest of his family. What did you make of his decision…right call or should he have plowed on?

[Robin]

Buzz had to protect his family and his job. I think his only other alternative would be to move away and hand the file to the next person to investigate. He was smart to take the original file and mark the record as "destroyed".

Especially with possible cultural / racial issues at that time, I think Buzz had to back off, but he did keep the file and kept looking into things his whole life.

[Jonetta]

Buzz made the right call at that time. He had no support and he wasn’t even the lead investigator on the case. And, he was the new guy. With a wife, two children and one on the way? This was his best option. Kudos to him for keeping that file.

[Sharon]

I agree with all of you. Buzz did what he had to do at the time.
