One thing that is particularly annoying: the lack of communication from the governments/police about the status of the investigation, or lack thereof.

Side question: How likely are autonomous reconnaissance drones today?

I'd expect them to be impervious to traditional jamming.

I could imagine a pair of drones, a few km apart, communicating by laser line-of-sight, where the reconnaissance one acquires data, send it to the nearby drone, that one would use it to confirm data and do something else with it (aka, spotter and actor).
