In Australia, police respond to murder cases by first securing the crime scene to preserve evidence and ensure public safety. They conduct thorough investigations, which include gathering forensic evidence, interviewing witnesses, and collecting statements from involved parties. Additionally, detectives may collaborate with specialized units, such as homicide squads, to analyze the case and follow leads. Once sufficient evidence is gathered, police may arrest suspects and present the case to the legal system for prosecution.
If the police and prosecution service believed there was enough evidence to proceed then they would file the charges. The relatives have nothing to do with a case of attempted murder. It may be a case of the NOK has to be informed.

If there is any evidence at all for it, they'll respond at once. If the evidence is lacking, they'll pass it on to the District Attorney for them to make a decision. If the DA finds it to have any merit, they'll direct a more in depth investigation, and will have the police respond as soon as it turns up anything that would show evidence of that assault. This would typically be a matter of the police making a few phone calls or visits to gather some supplementary facts. If there's anything to it at all, the investigation will show it very rapidly. A week, two, in some unusual case, a month. After that, it is unlikely that there is any "investigation", it is a case of the police reporting back that nothing additional was found. At that point, there is no response, because no evidence of an assault was found. There are such things as "cold case" files, but typically these are for murder, rape or arson. Of course, police and court procedures vary state by state. A local attorney could probably give a more detailed answer as to the precise procedures and time periods involved in your area.
