I was trying to hint at BH while avoiding mentioning him; I don’t think odinism is involved here. His position in the “Sons of Odin”, however, would be equal to a “Norse Gothi”, or “goði”, and I initially used the word. Then I though that if I leave it like this, my post will probably be deleted. So I changed to the “chieftain” which is not far from reality. Ancient world was pagan and tribal. The chief = the oldest male of the tribe; he’d often perform religious rituals as well. They were less formalized and more tribe-specific.
Speaking about BH. He appears histrionic, visible and loud. The killer could have been tempted to blame the murders on local paganism that’s so demonstrative. Hence, the runes and all that Norse jazz. In this context, I have two doubts about RA: one, the DNA that DC claimed they had and that had never been entered into affidavit. I assume it didn’t match that of RA. Two, I simply don’t consider RA having enough foresight to stage the scene in a Nordic way. So, either it was someone much smarter, or, the whole setup was misinterpreted. (I don’t think so, because DC was obviously scared by it all and even mentioned the Shack, to counterbalance the “idols”, it would seem. Personality-wise, the perpetrator should be smart, independent, with perverse sense of humor and to himself, not holding either paganism or official church in high esteem - not RA, IMO.)
Over these six years, RA was never considered a suspect by the public. Unsurprising, of course, but he was seen by several witnesses, and he was a local pharmacist. The female witness is not a child. Doesn’t she go to the pharmacy?
Mostly, I think if they misfiled the tip under another name, how can we trust that all other tips weren’t equally neglected/mishandled?
