Dr. Shawna Coxon:
No, I do not believe that is fair to say. It is a consideration of what it means when we talk about foul play. One of things we need to look at is reconsidering the policy on how that process works and where it goes from missing person to murder, particularly in cases where there is not a body. There has been a tremendous amount of work done on these cases, even if they have not necessarily been designated as a murder, and they continue to be reviewed. It was in addition to that process that we undertook one holistic review across the country.
