No, I know.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, sometimes even having the cameras there doesn't really give us any answers.
I know.
Yeah, it's interesting, like, all the little rabbit holes that you can go down.
I went down them.
Well, in East St.
Louis, where Maury Travis left at least four of his victims, it's a place that's had a lot of violent crime for a long time.
But since 2017, the East St.
Louis murder rate has dropped by almost half.
That's positive.
By 2023, their homicide clearance rate was up to 67%.
That's from, what, like 25%?
They had a 75% unsolved rate, and now it's up to 67% clearance.
That's pretty good.
And that's partly due to these public safety enforcement groups that they started.
They launched it in 2020.
It's a partnership between the Illinois State Police and the East St.
Louis City Police and also some community-based groups.
