One interesting aspect of this story...is that the Internet in 1996 existed but the massive amount of information that we have today...simply wasn't there. The odds of the Ramsey beauty queen episode being widely touted...is virtually zero.

And being from NW Alabama...I can tell you that there are very few airports to travel from. This guy would have had to fly out of Muscle Shoals at the very least...connect in Atlanta or Dallas....and fly onto Colorado Springs. There, he would have had to rent a car and drive around an area that he was totally unfamiliar with. No GPS usage in 1996 by the common user. Then done the murder and climbed back in to return on the 26th...its a 36 hour period that this idiot would have required to complete the entire trip...around Xmas time...missing Xmas in all odds...which the ex-wife would have easily noted if he had not been there.

No, the story does not add up. He is an avid reader, obsessed with the girl (and other young girls as well), and probably a certified nut. But he is not the killer. And other than that crime out in Cal that they've accused him of...there is no other standing charges. He will be declared innocent within 10 days and sent to Cal....finish up six months of jail time there and walk free. My guess is that he will be back in Bama within a year, selling used cars. Trust me...thats the way that things like this work.

As you can see, there are people on FR who appear to be obsessed with this case as well. Sometimes people attach themselves to tragedy as a way of getting some attention for themselves.
