Why didn't the firefighter (GF's brother) keep this quiet for all those years? He was/is a man of the uniform and he let his community and fellow firefighters down. I think it's time to pump the brakes on Kevin and figure out why, at minimum, 4 other people kept this quiet?
Not only does Kevin's story of that night not make sense, the cops' treatment of Kevin and their decade+ long treatment of the tire track evidence
does not make sense.
It's widely apparent from the news stories at the time that the cops were looking for suspects based on tire tracks. Kevin and his GF and his GF's brother (at a minimum, but also perhaps including the
whole family) knew BOTH that the cops were seeking information about the tire track evidence at the scene AND that Kevin put tire tracks at the scene.....hmmmmm.......
Furthermore, if the cops are so sure the tracks they found are from Kevin's car, they would have in 1989 been able to say something about the type of car which
likely made the tracks they were looking for, based on the track size, brand of tire and other details. Also, the single tire track picture I've seen on WS next to Jacob's footprint is too small to come from a Grand Prix it seems. It's the tire track from a tiny car or even a motorcycle tire - made in the soft dirt in between the hardened twin tire-ruts common on dirt road driveways, IMO.
What blows my mind even more is Kevin knew that DR's road was a dead end and yet he still went all the way up the driveway to turn around. In the dozens of times in my life where I've been lost and needed to use a driveway to turn around I've always done a 3 point turnaround. Have any of you ever gone up a driveway that you knew was a dead end when you could have done a 3 point turnaround?
Initial reports from the 2003/2004 era suggest Kevin turned around in the way you suggest would make the most sense, near the intersection of the driveway and the street. He was familiar with the area after all and
knew that DR's drivesay was no public road because he had seen it used as a hidden parking lot for the party spots. These 2003/2004 reports also suggest Kevin made contact with the cops at the crime scene.
...By the time of Kevin's story on Joy's blog, the story of him traversing the
ENTIRE LENGTH of DR's driveway emerges, along with the unwitnessed/unreported contact with the cops at the dental office. Any thoughts on why this story might need to be changed between 2003 and 2013?
