That is fair enough, and i have no idea what people are saying on SM because i don't care for SM very much personally.
But that is what these crime boards do mostly is speculate about what might have happened in these cases, like a "Whodunnit" mystery.

LE is forced to not release a lot of information because they have to protect the investigation in case it goes to trial. So I think what happens in cases like this is people try to learn as much as possible about the case and begin to review other information that is available.
So long as people are very careful and treat anything they find with a huge grain of salt there can be helpful information that is found elsewhere.
When trying to analyze the situation I think most people add up all the information they find and it helps people to decide on things.
LE is very limited to be able to provide us with much but Klein shared some of his information and some of it was much more than LE provided.
We can choose whether or not to believe whoever we want to believe and we have to take all information with a grain of salt.
For Kleins information IMO I do think he had no reason to lie about certain things so I found some of his specific information helpful. Like the cadaver dogs hitting on equipment and things like that.
The main LE statements that helped me were when LE was adamant about the inconsistent stories and LE thinks the parents know where the boy is.
That is huge to me because it means they know everything about what happened. I choose to believe LE.
So as we begin to try to put things together it all gets put in its spot.
We do not know what happened but things center around people not being truthful. When someone is not truthful then it means they are trying to hide something.
In order to try to figure out what they are hiding then speculation into theories begin to happen and that is ok IMO so long as they are stated as just theories. Theories based on things we have learned from all sorts of places.
And that is where SM can be helpful. Some small pieces of information can be found out and if it is true then it helps make other things begin to make sense. The problem is deciding on which pieces of information may have some truth to it and which is not.
Some choose to throw away all of it but others try to decide if there is any truth in some of the information. Its really not a lot different than what LE does when they gather all their information. Its just that the public has a lot less available to work with. LE has certain tools they can use to help make sure their information is accurate. The public doesn't have that luxury so people have to make up their own mind if any information has any truth or basis to it.
I guess one of the points I am trying to make is that certain opinions and theories are based on a lot of research that was done. Not everyone is just throwing out a wild guess. Some of the theories and opinions have been carefully weighed against a lot of research that was done by gathering all types of information and listening to all the interviews and reading all the articles that are available. And of course trying to keep in mind what little actual facts are known.
Added all together there can be some good theories that are well thought out and carefully considered.
