Ding, ding, ding!
JMO -- the suspect (or a good friend or an immediate family member of his)
intentionally misled LE. Agreeing with other posters re: the 4/22/19 PC -- that LE was a.)
directly speaking to the killer, and also b.) indirectly acknowledging that LE had been given information by someone with a
deceptive mindset, and that LE had taken it as reality, unfortunately.
Also agreeing with
@Mike Britton's earlier post here: that
Mom should "come forward"! But...
will she? (What do WS moms think? Would
you turn in one of your own offspring, if you knew that they were responsible for such a crime? Would the quarter of a million $$$ be enough to convince you? Or... "not so much"? At
what point does a parent -- especially a
mom -- skip "family loyalty" in order to "teach a lesson" regarding justice?
Ever?)
