About the car: I asked lots of questions.
The detective said they searched the river, both sides of the river, up and down the river. Nothing found.
He said that the next day he was out there in the 4 wheel drive vehicle, searching the desert.
He said there was no red Taurus car found. There was no backpack found. And interestingly, no knife found. And Juan Doe did cut and slash himself.
The Verde River, per the detective, is very shallow. He said, he could drive a car across it. He did say that in the rainy season, it can be kind of dangerous.
And Juan Doe was not found in the river, he was found beside the river, but was wet and bleeding from all the cuts on his body.
The detective did not know what kind of medication Juan Doe was taking.
Juan Doe said he was at the tail end of his heart medication.
I asked if the hospital ran a drug and alcohol screen and a tox screen. He said he did not know.
I asked if the hospital did cat scan/mri of Juan's brain and/or other parts of his body.
The detective did not know.
Per the detective, Juan Doe is very articulate and intelligent.
As for Juan's story, it has always been a little 'off' in my mind.
It is one reason I wanted to hear what the police had to say.
So, does he have amnesia?
If he is a little 'fuzzy' about things, did he deliberately make up stories about himself?
If he does have amnesia, it just does not seem like it will be long lasting.
If not, he is getting a free ride from the state of Arizona.
