It really is essentially this. PDs often move on to current cases to try and increase their chance of solving one that’s more fresh. So if it’s been a few days and you’re in a city with continual crime there’s always something new to work on. Even then, not like smaller towns have more of a chance. In the Delphi murders they caught a break years later for example. It’s giving up and if there isn’t enough evidence out the gate being stuck.
