The MEDIA did not pick up on this for a while. LE was going around that day with a picture of Jersey asking us if we knew him and where he was. THAT, to me, means the neighbors named him within hours. Just because they weren't interviewed by the media for days does not in any way mean that they did not talk to LE immediately. I never said the person that saw the man carrying the baby named Jersey. The neighbors did that were asked about the house the witness said he went to. That is where his name came from. I was asked by LE about him that very afternoon when they made their way down to our area. LE concentrated that morning on the area of the sprinkler house hot and heavy. My neighbors and I were wondering why that was and when it finally came out from the MEDIA, then it all made sense as to what we saw going on.
ETA there is an article from the first days when Norval Nichols was interviewed about him. The media just didn't mention the name at the time, but it was Jersey they were talking about. I would say Le told the media not to mention his name publicly yet for some reason.
