Well, IF it is him, then LE has him locked up and can take their time to make sure before charging him.
I want THIS perp arrested and convicted. But also want the right perp, and not just someone.
That sketch....so detailed, sure makes me wonder like others have said, if that wasn't from a photo and maybe eye witnesses as well. The hat, I don't believe was ever part of the case. I am still of the mind frame that the hoodie was up, and a ball cap under. Who knows, maybe the girls scratched him and had DNA under their nails, or the perp left something.
If this DN was homeless at the time, and maybe camping in woods, he could have been in THOSE woods, and left something behind there, but LE wasn't sure if it was connected to the crime.
Agree about hat -- think it was a baseball hat with sunglasses on the bill with hoodie pulled over it.
