I think Mark went through some very rough times when his testimony was impeached, he was branded a racist and a liar and a scoundrel, he lost his career, and was basically ridden out of town on a rail. The way he recovered was remarkable. The signs DID point to the dad or someone in the family in the Lunsford case. It's hard to believe someone can come in, silence the dog, and kidnap a child out of her room without waking anyone, but this BASTARD did it, and I think his buddies were with him all the way, he was just the only one with a record.
Front door unlocked.
Mark not home.
Dog didn't bark.
How'd he know the dog wouldn't bark and raise hell?
How did that lout know all these things before going there?
He didn't know the Lunsfords.
Had never been inside their house.
He didn't fall over a chair or anything.
He knew which room was Jessica's.
