Stumbled is right because they sure weren't looking for him.
Has been reported that investigators were looking at Ross. The media may have been fixated on Hale but that doesn't necessarily mean that the people doing the investigation were.

That's true. It will be interesting to see if John Walsh and the rest of the pundits who had Hale convicted and judged will return to say they were wrong.
It's the same bunch who had the guy judged and convicted of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart. He was no angel but he wasn't guilty of the crime he was accused of. That guy died in jail under some pretty severe stress I'm sure.
Now, if someone on FR says they weren't looking at him, then they weren't. Good grief the MMQB that goes on here. I just heard an interview on local talk radio in Milwaukee of the officer who made the traffic stop. He came within inches of being struck by the bullet as it exited the car. He had glass fly into his face.
