I think you may have missed something from previous threads. The school did not confirm that he was there. They would not comment when asked by journalists. It was not confirmed that he was seen by a friend taking photos, he apparently asked her to look and see if he was in any of her photos. We have not heard the result of that.
Having been a school mum at a school about the size of Laurieton school, you get to know (at least visually) who belongs with which child. Especially your own child's friends. It seems odd that no-one has come out and said "Oh yes, I saw Bill and Marge at the assembly. We smiled and nodded to each other".
On top of that, it has not been confirmed that he sat with his wife and had coffee across the road prior to the assembly. Cafe could not confirm that they saw him either.
And with the morning 'missed' phone calls with grandma being unconfirmed, and not in his call log ... it is a lot of unconfirmed stuff for one morning. No doubt raised the police hackles pretty quickly.
There should be someone in that small community that can confirm that they saw him at the place(s) he said he was on that morning. There are only 1,900 total people in Laurieton. An everybody-knows-everybody size town.
