Too cool for subject
If a serial killer commits murders in one state and moves to another state then it might be a while before the local officials discover that it's the same person (unless the killer is well publicized). It takes a certain number of deaths for the FBI to become involved (I believe it's as low as 10 but I can't remember). However, even though the FBI would be INVOLVED and possibly heading the investigations. The local authorities would be valuable members in the investigation (after all, it is their "turf"). Have I answered your question effectively?

I'm writing Sentinel fic - nothing sinister, honestly! ::G::
In my story, a detective from Cascade is now working in Chicago and recognises the killer's MO. I don't know how many my murderer has killed, tbh - not sure it's as many as 10. I was thinking that, since the crimes have happened in 2 states, it had become 'federal' but maybe not(?) I just need some FBI interference to distract one of my characters; throw in a bit of a red herring here and there.
"However, even though the FBI would be INVOLVED and possibly heading the investigations. The local authorities would be valuable members in the investigation (after all, it is their "turf")."
That is perfect - that's exactly what I was envisioning.
"Have I answered your question effectively?"
Perfect, thank you.
