Although I find it intriguing, I don't buy your theory on this, as I don't see where the facts support it. However, in this dirty world we live in, there's nothing, absolutely nothing would surprise me. The worst mistake that any investigator can make, is to get tunnel vision and lose objectivity.
To a rational mind, it makes no sense. But rational minds are NOT the target audience.
As I've said elsewhere, this is a very long shot, based on very limited data. And I hope I'm wrong about it.
