Does anyone know the answer to this one? I've done a Google search but it's a complicated thing to type into a search and I wasn't sure how to break it down!
In the UK, if there is a search going on for a missing person, presumed dead, and remains are found but those remains turn out not to be the missing person, does the original detective team continue to work on this new case or do they hand it over to a new team and continue with their original missing person?
Or would they continue to work on both the murder and missing case until they could prove the two weren't connected before handing the murder over to someone else?
Hope that makes sense! Thanks!
