Could be Charlie but I just think it is rather odd that after two weeks they are asking neighbors "have you ever been in the Young's home before?"
And the police can be wrong sometimes. They told the neighborhood when Sara Walker was killed that it was not a random act and the community didn't have to worry about it but that is exactly what it was......a drifter that caught her there alone and stabbed her 27 times and bludgeoned her to death. I am not saying these police are wrong but they aren't prefect on calling it right everytime.
I think sometimes they think the manner of death leads them to think it is someone known to them. Bludgeoning seems to be one filled with personal rage but we have seen that too is not proof positive either as strangers are being brutally overkilled.
So I really don't know. Maybe they already do have a suspect in mind and its Jason. I truly just dont know either way. Sure wish I did.
Usually in most other cases I have seen though, LE starts canvassing the neighborhoods immediately when memories are fresh.... wanting to know if they saw or heard anything.

Ocean,
I suspect the neighbors on Birchleaf Dr were canvassed the day the body was found or no later than the day after. The folks living over in the area identified as the trailer park, I would not classify as neighbors, would have no visual contact at all with what goes on on Birchleaf Drive or of the houses even. There are no roads or visible pathways that connect the trailer park area to Birchleaf. If you look at the aerial, the location would be similar to two and a half football fields away roughly. In quick order, I don't see how one would expect them to have seen or even heard anything given the distance and the woods in between. In the course of two weeks, I would also think the people in the area would have reported anything, especially if they had concerns.
This is also why I think dogs would have been brought in - to see if the dogs detected any scents headed in that direction. If not, I don't see any reason to head that direction until there is something found to indicate it might be worth going in that direction or unless it is to finalize all loose ends. JMO of course. Honestly, it does not concern me nor does it seem odd to me given the lay of the land so to speak.
What seems more odd to me is all the "friends" on the boards posting all kinds of things also claim the police have not spoken to them. That appears very odd to me - either the "friends" are full of bull or they aren't really close enough to know the things they are saying, at least as first hand knowledge. Instead of being on the boards, they should be doing their civic duty by reporting their information to the police - they might know something important without realizing it.
I will agree the police can be wrong, they can read a scene wrong - it happens. Scenes can be interpreted as random or non - but I doubt seriously that any investigative team is going to feed this line to a scared neighborhood without some sincere feeling it is true. They are obligated to protect just as strongly as they are obligated to investigate. It happens, perhaps a 2 week police presence in the neighborhood was as much a precaution as an investigative tool - that also happens.
What if it turns out the police contacted the company at which Jason (told a friend or Meredith when he called about the fax) was suppose to have had his meeting at in an effort to get a hold of him - only to find out there he definitely was not and had not been there ? Would you think the crime was random or would you immediately confiscate his vehicle when he turned up? Not saying this happened at all, but surely it is possible. Something makes them believe it was not random - and it was something that made them think it very quickly, it also encouraged them to confiscate vehicles, luggage and other items. Sometimes things are gut feelings - sometimes they are not.
but we just have no facts to go on at this point--- surley le will let us have something soon to really debate !! I was so happy when it wasnt Dan who killed Pam-- I just hope it is the same outcome here, because I am still haunted by the picture in my mind of scott coming up behind Laci and killing her in her bedroom , and she knew it was her husband killing her and their soon to be born little boy
