'BUT HE'S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND'


The narrator is CONSTANTLY making this STUPID remark....but he's nowhere to be found.
YES, he IS somewhere to be found, you just didn't look in the right place.

I also am sick of "Victim was taken to the hospital WHERE HE DIED" Yeah no *beep* the show is about the first 48 hours after a murder so you dont have to beat us over the head episode after episode with the phrase Where he later died. Just say, Dude got shot and yeah you guessed it.. he died.

reply

I can't stand when the narrator refers Houston, TX as Harris County, TX as the city name, Who the heck is gonna know what Harris County is?"

"Victim was taken to the hospital WHERE HE DIED"

Yeah it gets annoying every now and then with the same line. But it helps us to know if the victim survived or not.

But the show is about the First 48 hours after a murder. So its already known that the victim is going to die. IDK, i see it both ways but i just get sick of hearing it over and over and over and over and over and over

There have been a few episodes where the victim lived (like the one that was burned alive). On top of that there are episodes with multiple victims, where only some die.

A man is found shot, face down, DEAD

Harris County makes more sense because Houston is only one city in Harris County. A lot of the murders happen in the smaller cities surrounding Houston.

reply

Houston refused to allow them to shoot with their police department, but Harris County allowed them. Because of that the producers were required to be very clear that it was Harris Co and not Houston's force.

reply

I can only guess they say this so we know why the victim is not still lying there. Sadly some people need it explained.

I have thought the same thing since I started watching this in 08. "The victim is nowhere to be found". Always get a chuckle out of that line.

"BUT THEN, INVESTIGATORS GET A BREAK"

reply

It could be an homage to the average beat cop, as they tend to use the same few lame expressions over & over & over. "Not my first rodeo," etc.

reply

You can't blame the narrator, you have t blame the writers. Most of these crime shows have writers that love the cliches. But saying he's "Nowhere to be found" means that at that moment they don't know where they are, sometimes they find them, sometimes they never do, but it's purpose is to show the frustration of the investigators.

You're ot going to get Scorcese quality writing on shows like this. Lol
