The only other thing to me that would bring another potential party in to the mix is the seeming fact that a tip, or tips, were what led to finding PH's body.
Imo, the tip could bring another party to be investgated by LE or simply an eyewitness, by how quiet LE is about the tip, (tip in young Abby's disappearance, missing NC girl, was dropped asap to the public that she was seen getting into a vehicle, and tipsters name was kept private), to be an outsider. It led to PH's burial grounds. It could have been a property owner in the area who noticed headlights or a car with no headlights, a make and model of a car late night driving, to a particular house or a neighbor at the apartment complex who witnessed coming and goings from where PH's car was left.
I really hope this case does not end up as another case, Ellen Greenberg, whose fiance had big lawyer connections in his family and powerful attorney friends of the family other 'witnesses' do not have the luxury of these connections . The homicide report on autopsy was changed to, suicide by one stabbing themselves in a frenzied attack, overkilling oneself, with self inflicted 20 stab wounds +. This lovely fiance did not find a new place to live away from the gruesome suicide scene, while 'grieving,' and moved a new girl in 6 months later. The case is now being reopened, after many years have gone by.
Imo, money, connections, can persuade bizzare and unbelievable closures to a case. This is my concern regarding Paighton Houston's case. For all we know, the tipster could have called in on an untracable line and said they witnessed PH harm herself and dig her own grave and lie in it, if the police bought the well connected fiance's words in the above case, then imo, anything is possible.
I am in agreeance with others, that this is one unique and extremely frustrating case, far different than any others with very few to no facts, that have been stated publicly.
If the case goes cold, with no substancial reporting and site of PH or 2 Black suspects? witnesses? (nothing further stated by LE about these 2 men) at the Tin Roof, this case could be used by other defense attorneys as an example for criminal clients, in other cases, who choose a random busy bar and state they were there the entire time a crime was being committed, as always, they are innocent until proven guilty, so this case could burden proof, in a circumstanial case, and be used to prove an iron clad alibi, even with no forthcoming witnesses, no bar patron witnesses, no cameras to validate the alibi, and no bar employees able to account and prove alibi, wiping out all of future prosecuters having any reason to doubt the claim of whereabouts, against a defendent's claim and alibi. JMO I would use it as a defense attorney, pulling the above case for example, if my client said they were hanging at a bar during the timeframe of a crime being committed, and no camera lenses, bar tenders, and patrons could corroberate they were, imo so unfit and so ill equiped, then the glove don't fit, and you jury must acquit!
