I see where he could have had interaction or an opportunity to be around Jennifer, but it was a small town. She was very active in lots of things, 4H, water skiing, her church, school activities and lots of family and friends. I think LE has something more than just opportunity but like you state, no hard evidence to charge anyone. He dated the Aunt, so he may have been around for family meals or holidays, that would make him at least aware of Jennifer and maybe her routine. He lived close enough to drive past the bus stop if he had business in or around that area too. I wish there was a way to find out if he owned a blue truck because that was the goal of the dive team off his back dock area. I know they have to follow every tip they get, and that was one of them. Good find on the article. I don't have access to newspaper achieves, but maybe it is a good investment. Thanks for posting this.
Oh, BTW, the route he would have taken to the Hunt Club psychical location from his home, goes directly past her bus stop. I don't know if the Hunt Club was a place they ever met at or did business at, or if it was just a address used for the LLC purpose. But he ended up living near that location a few yrs after Jennifer's murder.
