And sometimes, often esp in rural places with rural situations, just getting around to talking, face to face, with the person is all it takes.  Rural situations are often Vastly different from Anchorage situations [ perps much less practiced, emotional rather than cold,  motives more personal, likely remorseful having known the victim, etc] but AST tends not to differentiate - applying urban rules/assumptions across the board though such assumptions are often a Major misfit in rural areas, remote villages or road rural areas.  
Until AST figures out that there IS a difference, and starts paying attention to the rural areas as though the crime there matters too, rural residents will suffer from their mismanagement [which is often indistinguishable from indifference].
