[facepalm] There go those odds again. Grrr. But if S1 was with/around S2 9 months earlier - or at least in the area, I'd think that'd need some kind of evidence, especially assuming the parents weren't in Europe 9 months earlier. But I suppose there could also be the lack of evidence to strengthen this assumption. Grrrr. LH has some explaining to do IMO in this hypothetical.
lol, I'm not disagreeing with you about evidence. That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking, is he most likely responsible? They really are not the same question because evidence has rules based on a need for certainty, not just odds. It's simple:
The M.O. matches. The pics match. He's known S2 for decades. JEW is abducted on his property. Figure the odds. You can't convict on this obvious fact because you have to show opportunity. They can't even show he was in MN I'd imagine.
