SeaSparrow, good questions and analysis, at this point, I think the MSP trooper asking the elderly man to take Colleen to the Cape is BS. Now, if it did happen, and it was "innocent" the trooper would have come forward. In other words, he saw Simone stranded, it was near the end of the shift, and he lucked out with a motorist going down the Cape. You know, as I wrote that last sentence, even I don't believe it!.... The only thing I thought about his hesitancy about coming forward was maybe there was a little hanky-panky going on between the trooper and Simone and he knew it would look bad all around.
Anyway, I was thinking, when the elderly man reported this 9 years later, how would he get around the police looking into the trooper angle and getting caught in a lie? This is just speculation but how would he tell this story and not be concerned about LE checking it out? Did he just give a vague, "he was young, Caucasian, short hair, clean shaven" (probably 70% of MSP) and leave it at that knowing it really can't be verified? Or, did a young MSP trooper pass away in 85/86 and the elderly man say it was that trooper, knowing the story could not be verified? Also, him not telling his family speaks volumes to me. He had two occasions to do so.
