He also was more chatty.

"He wasn't suited down. He was just relaxed. We don't get too many people like that, dressed casually."

Sheesh, you would think the reporter would have asked;

Relaxed....because he was on his way home from his Mitre Meeting...It's how I feel after a Town Board meeting unless I got snookered.

The briefcase MIGHT be a helpful note from Spence BUT it's more important that the Pharmacist describe Jack's clothing and VERIFY that John had a briefcase and/or an overcoat.

Something seems very, very wrong with this investigation.

You are evidently not acquainted with the Delaware News-Journal. Such thought is beyond them.

Besides, this wasn't a story to garner pity for drug addicts and pushers...it's low-priority.
