But, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. There’s a lot of insinuation but no proof yet. I’d rather give the guy his due until the police make an announcement. As someone else has said, it’s happened before that the likely suspect has been proven innocent. It could well happen here (don’t ask me if I really believe that, though).

Yes, we're getting ahead of ourselves. And the only evidence is circumstantial. Officially, we don't even have a crime yet. And yes, suspects with all of the apparent evidence pointing toward them have been proven innocent. And yes, that could happen here as well.

But I think you and I both know we're looking at pretty slim odds.

I know, but I’m just trying to keep on an even keel until more is known. I recall the Jessica Lunsford murder case. A buddy who’s a retired sheriff and who retired to the area was involved in the case peripherally. He was really upset over the way the authorities handled the investigation. I know at the time I had the dad pegged but it turned out to be a neighbor, John Couhey, who proved to be the murderer.

I guess I still hold back in my judgment now after that. You never know.

This is bringing back some memories. Only a short trip from Stella, these girls are still missing since late '99
