after 3 teenagers are killed which exploring a school thats been closed for 20 yearsan aging cop decides to take on the case and he eventually realizes there is more to this case than he could ever imagine.
What makes this case personal to your protagonist?

What makes this case personal to your protagonist? Why should I care if he STARTS this investigation, much less watch the film long enough to find out ‘there’s more to the case than he can imagine’ – which is so obvious an element in any whodunnit that you don’t need to waste words saying it.

I think you’ve described an interesting event, but haven’t indicated a compelling action which the bulk of your screenplay will revolve around. (Determining to do something is not the same as doing that thing). Is his goal to get her fired from her job so she has to return to Earth, or is it to travel into space to meet her? It’s important to provide this a) because it will determine whether it sounds like there is enough conflict to sustain a feature length film, and b) because if you’re pitching the film using the logline, specificity with the compelling action the protagonist takes allows whoever you’re pitching to to get a clearer idea of scope and budget necessary to produce your screenplay.
