As new homicides are reported, the detectives are on a revolving schedule. A detective will be asigned a case, and the next case the next guy in line takes it. They are constantly rotating the cases. Once a detective begins an investigation they will work through it almost non-stop until it's solved. It really is true that if a murder is not solved within the first 24 to 48 hours, the odds drop considerably for a resolution. Sometimes they may catch a couple hours of sleep but the schedule can be intense. In the same way that doctors will work 36 hour shifts.
