This is getting old, sandude.....for both of us, I'm sure. Go back and read what I said in post # 701. I in no way believe that MK has "fooled" the police. Rather, I think it is far more likely that the police are attempting to fool the suspect(s) into believing what they want them to believe.
As for your other "explanations" for things I found doubtful about MK's alleged story.....I simply don't buy them. Things that you find unremarkable, I do find remarkable. Things that seem perfectly logical to you do not seem logical at all to me. "Official explanations" that satisfy you don't satisfy me. I didn't find the "armed gunman" story plausible the first time I heard it, and I have heard nothing since that has removed my doubts.
I guess this puts you and me back at that "agree to disagree" point.....
It's entirely possible that Ed and Tom have the answers and Lois suspects what those answers are, but wants to be the good wife and believe in those she cares about -- which includes her entire extended family. What a turmoil must be going on for that poor woman!
I'll let it rest at that but I am perplexed at your inability to accept what has been stated as at least possible. It's like Ross Perot shaking his finger at everything he dislikes about government but offering no solutions for the problems he has exposed. The attackers of the Smarts and LE fail to offer anything plausible to counter the official press releases other than maybe LE is lying in an attempt to catch the perp. Maybe they are not lying. One needs to at least accept that as a possibility. The bottom line is that we do not have enough information one way or another. Without the facts in the matter it is impossible for us to determine much of anything at all.
