This case can be solved in no time with a bit of good ol fashioned elbow grease and proper police work. Fingerprints, shoe prints and extensive panning out the neighbourhood asking people about his friends and talking to those friends about their whereabouts and alibis. Whoever did this must be found to bring justice to his grieving family and friends.
