Regarding the satchel, I think SB and WD said they don't remember a satchel.
IT from the first test drive did notice the satchel and it was something he was known to carry. This would make me think that he did have the satchel with him on that test drive as well. Also, that the satchel was found in the washing machine at DM's residence leads me to believe that it was likely with him on the night of the murder. I don't know how much of what MS is saying is true, but I don't think he suddenly made up the satchel. jmo
I get what you are saying, but if a guy comes to your door carrying a purse and you have to identify hi to police only a few hours later, chances are the first thing you are gonna say i "the big guy had a purse". Could one have them missed it? Sure. Both? Now way. I don't doubt he had it, just wonder if he left it in the Yukon?
