Maybe. More likely a sadistic person pretended to be an FBI agent.
I read former fbi agent.
That’s the only thing that makes sense, in spite of it being a cruel thing to do.
“To clarify, the Stockton Record news story was based on a conversation between the Smart family and a former FBI agent”

So, an insider of a sort. Have to wait and see if he was just talkin outta his backside or what.
I wonder if this (former FBI?) agent is working a cold-case for a Hollywood production? I mean look at all the “news” generated from this leak? Almost looks like an organized press release.
I may be listening to too many true crime podcasts, but it sounds to me like the kind of vague non-info you would leak on purpose to spook a nervous suspect, perhaps to see if he gets agitated, or is even dumb enough to go and check that the body is still safely hidden.
