Summarizing my opinion over the years…
It always was that no one but Abby and Libby knew who slaughtered them in such a horrific and gruesome fashion.
I always felt it had to be a local, though. There are more people in my high rise apartment building in NYC than in the whole town of Delphi. It’s unfathomable to me that an outsider would know about some rickety old bridge which somehow is a place where locals hang out. It doesn’t strike me as an enjoyable place to be, but I grasp that a rural lifestyle is different than mine.
HOWEVER BUT—-miraculously, courageously, Libby recorded the unknown assailant on her phone! Then LE was able to retrieve that phone!
Now there was a framework. Here’s a guy intruding on the girls’ day, commanding them to go DTH, and we can get some outline of who this murderer is; what he looks like, what he’s wearing, how he walks, how he sounds.
Still don’t know who he is, though.
But miracle again, the seemingly mild-mannered clerk from CVS tells LE that you know what, he was on that bridge, too! In the same time frame! Wearing the outfit that passersby described! He also has a strong resemblance to the man that Libby desperately tried to capture on video!
And hey, mild- mannered CVS guy has no alibi for where he was at the time! Except gazing at fish and the stock ticker on his phone, on that same bridge!
He also really really really doesn’t want his home searched! And a bullet from his gun landed serendipitously right betweeen where the girls’ bodies lay!
IMO all this together is very damning. I’ll even omit the part about the 61 confessions.
Is this all circumstantial evidence? Perhaps. But it points an arrow at one person.
Was there a ring of people involved? Sometimes I think so, (due to KAK /Anthony Shots, not heathens), but that does not eliminate RA as the integral person who forced the girls to their deaths.
JMO after all these years. I remember the shock when nice guy, husband and father RA was arrested, but LE knows 100x what the public knows.
