Careless words from a Jr. Ranking PAO who is unfamiliar with the case details? His use of words is interesting to say the least, but may mean nothing ...
Right now I am leaning towards a known acquaintance, just not feeling Jon as a suspect.
I agree with you. I think his comments were in reply to a reporter's question about Jon not reporting Erin missing till Sunday because if LE doesn't know the dynamics in the relationship or Erin's regular routine after investigating her being missing for 9 days, the poor girl may never be found. Not to mention, LE must be certain Erin left the base on her own and Jon's alibi must check out. I am 99% certain, that if Jon was a person of interest or suspect, the Military would hand him over to the Sheriff's dept on a silver platter.
