I'm also not familiar enough with this site to know if a "former FBI profiler" (i.e., someone who is apparently no longer employed by the FBI) is considered a legit LE source of info, or if he's just someone the media calls up when they need an expert's
opinion.
I did find this (the initial FBI profile):
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_21751844/fbi-denver-press-release-involving-missing-jessica-ridgeway
And also this quote:
BBM. Again--'former'. (Is this normal for crime reporting?) It's actually (seemingly) impossible to find a direct quote from a
currently-employed member of LE on the case saying anything speculative about the killer at all.
(I'm used to discussing other stuff on the 'net where fact and citations are king, so if I seem nitpicky that's why. I don't know if you all consider a former-LEO's consultant-type opinion to be as good as an official statement from the police chief or what. )
Gonna keep looking, though, because this has my curiosity piqued.
