Well if there were any continuity on this show (there isn't), the Feds should have gotten involved after the Kanima massacre at the Beacon Hills Police Station back in season two. Because not only were multiple cops killed, but the Argent's sprayed the place with automatic weapons fire (fully-automatic weapons are illegal in civilian hands, especially in California).

Normally, the non-supernatural explanation for that kind of incident would be gang violence or even a drug cartel (especially in any state that has a border with Mexico). Which should have brought the Feds running in force. Instead that entire event seems to have been forgotten, and Agent McCall is more interested in Missing Persons cases. Which, if there were a gang/cartel problem, would probably be related to it. This sort of thing would normally be seen as way beyond the purview of local police in any case, and in real life nobody would think it odd that a local sheriff and his people would be overwhelmed by the task.

Also, one of the biggest suspects in town would be Chris Argent, since his family has a history of criminal activity (Kate committing arson/murder for mysterious reasons) and Chris possessing what is probably the only civilian-owned stockpile of automatic weapons in town.

But, presumably because Agent McCall's primary role is to be hinderance rather than a help, this is too much "reality" for the show.
