"...Don't misunderstand me," Ives said. "I might receive a call in an hour that says we really have something now, but that is not going on at the moment."
"...If we had evidence to file charges in either one of these cases, I would rescind my resignation and make a fool out of myself," he said. But I would do that because I would want to be there from start to finish."
These statements are from a different article, linked above.
Not to be redundant, but I believe they are an even stronger assertion that LE does
not​ have the hard evidence on DN.
That doesn't mean DN isn't the perp, but imo, Ives is clearly stating LE does not have the evidence to prove it.
I've always wondered if LE was just protecting the investigation. Getting their legal ducks in a row, but now, I don't believe there
are any ducks...
Sad. If he did kill the girls, we may never know...
