Sorry if this question has been asked by others. I rarely get the opportunity to visit the forum and do not have the time to read all posts.
Was anyone else bothered when Det. Sanchez looked embarrassed (he looked like he wanted to leave the room) upon hearing the ex-husband say he was just learning about her death?
Sanchez is hardly a shrinking violet and you would have expected him to say, "I talked to that SOB back then and he's lyin' his *advertiser censored* off!", but he didn't say that, did he? He didn't confront him on the phone call, did he?
All he said after the call was over was that it was, "... all over the newspapers and TV and how could he now know?"
Was Sanchez embarrassed that he screwed up initially? As single-minded as he is I can't imagine him not tracking the ex down (we all know it's the husband/ex-husband who did it :thinking
and confronting him face-to-face, but he didn't, did he?
And as for the DNA question, how many times have we seen cases on TV where a dogged detective followed someone for weeks, finally getting a cigarette butt or water bottle or some other evidence discarded by the suspect and had it tested.
Maybe we'll see the ex's cooperation and agreeing to a DNA test; maybe not.
I suspect he's been eliminated as a suspect as they have carefully prevented the public from knowing his name. I suspect that was a negotiated deal -- "I'll give you my DNA if you keep my identity confidential."
Assuming that's what happened and he is no longer a suspect, now what???
