I wonder if RAspeak was ever in the dialect of gaslighting.
*MOO* let's say that RA worked through it in his head. Knows he was seen by the group of juveniles, decides to get out in front of that, speaks with DD.
LE releases the video clip.
Let's say his wife DOES see a resemblance.... but RA gets out in front of that too. Tells her he spoke to LE, overstates the weight of that interaction, emphasizes how uber helpful he was, helping them lock down the timeline for example... would a GUILTY person do that? Ask BMorphew who voluntarily interviewed for 3 30hrs because, in his words, "a guilty person wouldn't do that". RA presenting himself as active, helpful, practically sporting sn honorary LE sticker badge, would go a long way IMO toward assuaging any nagging suspicion. Maybe that was all it took to give KA the layer of trust/relief that carried her through the years, believing very much that LE had spoken to him at length and, if they had no doubts, she needn't nurse any either. Could be the very same reasoning he used in retaining the jacket, the gun, the vehicle, the beard/stubble. It'd look suss to lose any of them so he worked them, that they would cement the not-guiltiness he wanted to project.
Of note, I think most people assume that a guilty person would... act guilty. Slink, dodge, roll. Betting MY money, RA banked on his role as husband, father, provider, protector, CVS employee of the week, extending courtesies even to the victims' families. And that's how you hide in plain sight. Social camouflage.

Great post!
The only thing I might add is blind trust is a real thing and people (like his wife) can look over the obvious facts (the video looks like him, walks like him, has the same clothes as him...) but somehow she thinks it cannot be him because how could he do such a heinous thing??? and also, he told me that he had already talked to law enforcement EXTENSIVELY.
Unfortunately , people get shocked all the time when they find out their spouse is living a double life. People can be great liars (half truths) and be very believable and get really good at lying.
We all think, there is no way I would be fooled like that if I was his wife. You just never know and you know...the case went cold for so long and both Ron Logan and then KAK? seemed to be the POIs separately for the longest time. That would only support the wife's belief that her husband came forward and was told by LE that he was fully cleared (according to him.) Nobody ever knew that LE had fumbled the investigation of RA and that was the only reason he was off the radar for all those years.
