People have no concept how far the deck is tilted to the police. He can be an innocent person whom the police were squeezing.
A mere suspect is screwed for life. Remember richard jewel?
He may very well be guilty, but if he is innocent and is just responding to police "person of interest" pressure then I hope he turns around and finds a good lawyer to sue the police.
People forget that police solve cases DESPITE their "inteligence level" not because of it.
Some of us cannot forget something we never knew.
Regardless, I like how you misspelled "intelligence." ;O)
How much do you know about the "story" they told and the night the 5 yr old disappeared under Fredricksen's watch?
