If I drive a rental Ford Focus to the location where I commit suicide should Ford be investigated as strongly as my documented major depressive disorder and the breakup I had with my spouse? Should the DJ at the radio station I was listening to during the drive be scrutinized? Should you stake out the McDonald's that I went in to piss and grabbed a coffee from?

Well we would never know the answer to these questions, and more, unless we looked.

Maybe there is no causation or relation, maybe there is, what is the issue with finding out?

I'm sure at one point studying many of the attributes of what makes a serial killer were considered with the same contempt.
