I am surprised people keep their passports in the car. Thats a potentially valuable document and can be used for identity theft and nothing in your car is completely secure. I can understand if you have to frequently travel abroad or often need ID in addition to a driver's license, (or don't have a driver's license but that obviously doesn't apply) but I don't see that in JW's case.
I am agnostic on his involvement. I see three possible scenarios:
1. JW was involved, the link to DW, and this was a Fargo type situation where the muscle he brought on was far more violent than anticipated. I haven't seen anything to convince me of this and I haven't seen any link between the two men (the proximity of two large apartment complexes isn't enough for me). The lies, the passport and the scrutiny thats coming out now point to JW's involvement but I see compelling arguments to the contrary for all these things.
2. DW acted alone. This has the most support simply because he's the one known assailant. But wouldn't threading the needle on this crime take some serious planning and was he in a position to do that?
3. There is a whole different scenario than we know of and the LE leaks are designed to reduce the heat on the others. That is just a third guess with petty much no support.

I think that what I said got misinterpreted to be saying that people ' keep their passports in their car.' What I said was that my husband often has him on him because he needs a second ID quite often because he is an independent contractor who needs a passport in order to be paid. So he keeps his in his computer bag. [---kept NOT in the car] But if he was pulled over, his passport would be found 'in the car.'
My daughter travels a lot for work and takes her passport along and so hers is quite often in her purse, which is in HER CAR while she is driving it. Again, if she were stopped, her passport would be with her , in her car.
So I was just trying to make the point that just because he had his passport with him, it does not necessarily mean he was fleeing the country. JMO
