Mahong had been busy contacting other FBI offices to confirm if there were any leads on the escapee Brown involved in the jailbreak case. He asked them to notify the Manhattan office as soon as possible if any clues arose, as this was their team's top-priority case recently.
Jimmy and Philicia had it relatively easier. New York had about 500 murder cases per year, and with the city's tens of thousands of police officers, the NYPD could handle most of them. Except for federal employees or special cases, the FBI's Homicide Team rarely got involved, so Mahong's team had it easier than others.
Of course, the NYPD couldn't solve all the murder cases. At the beginning of the 21st century, their solve rate for murder cases hadn't even reached 70%... The nationwide solve rate was just over 50%.
