Pretty sure the 48 hours was about missing people. Generally because it's hard to keep a person restrained and alive for an extended period, it's easier to just dispose of them and try to take any ransom demanded anyway.
First 48 is also a show about murder detectives working a case within the first 2 days after the murder. The likelihood of the case going cold after the first 48 hours goes up exponentially the longer the file stays open.
But it's the same as if your wallet stays lost for 48 hours. It's not because you didn't look hard enough, it's because it's lost enough that you weren't able to find it yet, and odds are you aren't going to.
This goes up further, I assume, if it's likely the killer has fled across state and potentially national borders. It's been 72 hours - given that sort of headstart, a fake ID or two, and a willingness to burn cash on travel, I could be anywhere I damn well pleased.
