It's important, again, to see what RA's 2017 statement actually contained. He told them nothing of his clothing that day, or that he was on the bridge itself, only that he walked to it. From other reports, he supposedly talked to the CO while the girls were still missing. All RA really confessed to in 2017 was parking and walking on the trails from 1:30 to 3:30 that afternoon. I'm not making excuses for anyone, because once LE knew more about vehicles and who all the witnesses had seen within that time frame, his statement should have been revisited.
