I think it's related to Mama Didn't Raise No Criminal or Parental Obliviousness (where the person really did have enemies or was involved in unsavory dealings but the family is in denial or in the dark about it).

Asshole Victim is the inversion, where everyone hated X and therefore the list of possible suspects is huge.

I was looking to see if there were any tropes that specifically fit that quote (since it occurs so often) but inversion of Asshole Victim prolly fits it best.
