Sounds like they did some crappy police work back in 1957.

The did not follow-up on his story that he was on a train and did not check phone records.

And because of that, the POS walked for 55 years.

Yep.

if the perp showed the police his receipt for the train, they might have accepted it as proof....there were no computer records then...and thousands of people take the train.....and no video cameras either....

I'v be happier if they had some dna...

Sounds like, he was a fellow cop, and they took their “brother in blue” at his word. Big mistake, in hindsight.
