The family implored Dunwoody PD to investigate Andrea Sneiderman, according to the report. The department did little at the start to investigate the widow, according to the report.

According to the report, Sneiderman was shielded from Duwnoody PD in answering questions about the killing. Text messages that could have been involved in the case where also not retrieved because of a time lag in obtaining them.
