Elocsol,
Right, but it is my understanding: (all from
http://www.joybaker.com/2013/03/14/kevins-story/)
1. Kevin didn't really go out of his way to talk to a cop that night. It was by chance he/gf saw a St. Joseph's car sitting at Cotton's dentist office by the Tom Thumb. At that point they were more curious/nosy, but did mention they saw bikes on the road by the Rassier farm (which, again, the bikes were in a ditch across the road from the Rassier farm. Imo that proximity is key. Driving by the bikes and driving down DR's driveway are two very different things)
Most importantly, imo, is the fact that at that point, Kevin and gf had no idea there was an abduction. I think if they'd known in that instance, their sense of urgency and forthrightness of information would have been greater (again presuming all this happened. I still suspect Kevin could be some kind of LE ruse and/or Kevin isn't being totally truthful about the sequence of events - perhaps to dissuade guilt for not coming forth sooner) (side-note: I do not mean to discredit Joy -I think she's done an amazing job that no one else has- but she freely admits she's an amateur blogger, not an investigative journalist. I fear she could be fooled by a "source")
2. According to Kevin's story, his brother told him the next day that the FBI was making plaster cases of tracks found in the driveway. That should have been more than enough information for one of those 4 people who knew Kevin/gf drove down that driveway. A white van was publicly sought and any information relating to the scene that night...
Chaplain1,
Of course I think LE should pursue a line of inquiry that includes DR's involvement. It was his property where Jacob's last footprint was found. What I have gleaned from various interviews w/DR is that he readily accepts this fact, whether he is directly involved or not.
That having been said, in-depth investigations have been conducted of him/his property. They found nothing to charge him with or even bring him in for further questioning.
