No One Wants To Be A Snitch | Forensic Files

trying to get anyone to talk is like pulling teeth. Like, no one wants to be labeled a snitch. And the statements
they do get are kind of all over the place. Police do get excited for a minute when they catch wind of a rumor
that someone actually videotaped the party, but no one can say who might have taken the video. And it seems like
almost every time they identify someone who was supposed to have been at this party, that person has a suspiciously
perfect alibi and was definitely not at the park when the shots rang out. If you
go by the statements that detectives were getting, I mean, it seems like no one was at the park when Solomon was
actually killed, which we know isn't true. And speaking of the party, they hear it was held to celebrate a woman's
birthday, but when they track her down, she completely denies that it was her party at all. So, they're basically like
chasing smoke at every turn. Exactly. I mean, this is true even of some of the people that Solomon was like closest
with. Like, when they go interview Gail a second time, all of a sudden, she has a new story for them.
