We are being asked to swallow several impossibilities, and then think that Rice was in the park over the Mem. day weekend.
A full week later, June 1-2, he went up to the park riding along with a married couple who were friends of his. This was the day they were really tearing the place apart to find the bodies.
At 8 pm 6/1 they did find them, but that fact was not released until the evening of June 3. Rice and his friends were together the whole time they were up there, and in any event the bodies were several days old, the crime was not committed while he was up there, his visit came 5 days after they were killed, and at that point he had no criminal record.
The event with the Canadian woman came 14 months later, and incidentally the week after Caity Mahoney was killed.
His similarity to Guandique, who suddenly and inexplicably with no previous history, "assaulted" a woman or two in Rock Creek Park the week after Chandra was killed, screams out at me.
