No, Lou Smit worked at the DA's office at the beginning of the case. He quit out of frustration that the police were only focusing on the Ramsey's and he believed them to be ignoring evidence that pointed else where. Later, he assisted the Ramseys in their own efforts to find the killer.

I think Tom Bennet is the one I'm remembering. I remember being very impressed at how easy it was for a man of his size to fit through that window. As for the cobwebs, I remember a reasonable explanation, but can't remember what it was. I guess it wasn't that impressive as far as evidence goes. I definitely remember the grass under the grate.

Tom Bennett was hired by Mary Keenan, the DA. He'd had no previous involvement in the case and was not acquainted with the Ramsey's.

It could be like you say too. The point is that the evidence pointing to an intruder may be just as strong, if not more so then evidence pointing to the parents.

An interesting note, Tom Bennet went into the investigation thinking they were probably guilty. Upon reviewing the evidence his mind was changed. His investigation took about two years if I remember correctly.

Lou Smit was the one who did the partial demo over and over again on TV. I don't think you saw Tom Bennett do it.

*I* did not say that!
