Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Hello,

My name is cody and my friend was recently killed in 7/21/2012 in a rental car down an alley way due to a call on his phone . Since than i personally feel there has been no progress made from the miami dade homicide team. Alot of people have informed me and the parents of the victim that there is a guy bragging that hes the one that killed the victim. We than voiced out what we heard to the lead investigator and he explained to us that they dont think its this seventeen year old kid with no reasoning. Mean while they never questioned or interacted him. 4 days after the death, the investigator called me (best friend of victim) and asked "do you know the password to his phone?" 4 days later they're trying to get into the phone? The reason he was killed there to begin with was because of a phone call.

Through 9 months I've been in contact with the investigator and its always the consistent "theres been no progress in the case. " i believe based on my friends case that the homicide team has been negligent In certain aspects of the case. They didn't check the phone to see who called him down the alley. They wont even inform the parents of any evidence,leads,suspects because they don't want to jeopardize the case.

My question is:

Do the parents of the victim have any rights regarding information on the case?

What they have done recently or in the past couple months to make a step forward to getting a suspect?

If multiple witnesses are saying this one person is admitting to people that he committed this crime why haven't they even question this main suspect?

Because the suspect WAS
