    This individual most likely will be contacted by the police to find independent facts regarding the crime.

    This individual is likely to be contacted by the police because they can provide independent facts regarding the crime. As a witness, they have observed the incident and can provide valuable information to assist in the investigation. The police rely on witnesses to gather evidence, corroborate testimonies, and help establish a clear picture of what happened. Contacting the witness is crucial in order to gather accurate and reliable information to support the investigation and potentially identify the perpetrator.

    If a person has knowledge that a crime is going to occur but takes no action to prevent it, they may be considered a suspect because their inaction suggests that they may have had some involvement or knowledge about the crime. By not intervening or reporting the crime, they could be seen as potentially complicit or having some level of culpability. However, it is important to note that being a suspect does not necessarily mean they are guilty, but rather that they are someone who should be investigated further in relation to the crime.
