We don't all believe that RL asked for an alibi due to a DL ban. Here's why I don't believe that.
1) He only asked for an alibi before the girls were even found, and during the timeframe when the murders first went down.
2) He drove to the transfer station that morning and didn't feel he needed an alibi for driving without a license before the murders happened.
Lastly, LE thought the creation of an alibi prior to them being found indicates knowledge of that crime.
So to me, his seeking an alibi wasn't about not getting busted for driving without a license, it was about covering his butt when a murder on his property went down. I do not believe he's the killer, but I do think he knew what was going on when it was actually happening. If not, why ask your cousin to lie about a trip to another city during the exact timeframe a murder (and whatever else) transpired? And NOT ask for one for a transfer station run before the murders even took place?

I think by 9:20 am on Feb 14th, there is an excellent chance that RL might have realized that the sounds of distress he
may have heard on the 13th were from the 2 young girls that were now the focus of the search being conducted by LE. He may have heard the girls crying out during the time they were being attacked by BG... afterall, it was only just over the hill from his main property and he could also have even seen something that day. (BG emerging from the woods covered in blood and mud and walking off down the road?)
He could have spent the night hoping the girls would be found safe and sound. When he saw the amount of searchers the next day he had to know he had plenty to be worried about. D
ue to his less than stellar history with LE, I think it would be possible he decided he needed to make sure he had an alibi so he could completely remove himself from being suspected by LE once they questioned him a time or two. Of course, he'd be questioned but, if LE couldn't find a hole in the alibi, they'd eventually move on and the pressure would let up.
If LE went around asking questions about him in town, it's sure to come out that he still drives and goes out to bars on occasion but, worst of all, he might be suspected of being the one who attacked the girls. If he heard them the day before because they had a chance to scream out for help then he knows whatever took place could have ended in the worst outcome for the girls because it's the next day and they're
still missing. So, it's possible he decided to create an alibi for himself with the help of a family member. LE will ask questions and eliminate him in the long run because LE will soon find out it can't be him that did anything to the girls. Because
he wasn't even at home that day during that time period when something horrible happened to them on his property. He has a "solid alibi."
All just opinion as to one possible reason why RL could have attempted to create an alibi (before the bodies were found and just for the time period of the murders) ...
and yet be totally innocent of taking part in the girls' murders.
