Sigrun, if you're so certain of two suspects, why not take your theory to LE? Writing it online does not solve a case.
I want to jump in w/a bit of "food for thought" in defense/support of Sigrun. My opinion only, take it or leave it - and clearly I can't speak for Sigrun and Sigrun speaks for themselves.
I'd been a long time lurker of WS and was compelled to join when Sigrun joined in the conversation.
To me, what you're (we're) engaging in is a systematic process Sigrun is using while attempting to make (for lack of a better term) an "educated guess". IMO this a very abstract school of thought may be difficult for some of us to grasp...not because we're less intelligent or have a different set of goals/principles/fact sets - it's just a different way of thinking. It's not wrong or right, it's simply different.
In general, I'm not a very patient person and I usually hate "process", but Sigrun's unique process has challenged me to patiently and systematically think outside the box.
In law, there's evidence or no evidence; fact or objectionable fact. In psychology, there's a whole lot of unknown, but likely known, and increasingly discoverable traits (humans are like snowflakes - each one individual, yet sometimes alike and all are snow...to draw on some MN terminology- it's either fluffy, slushy, or icy. And sometimes it's a bit of all). In detective work, there's often a hybrid of these. If you follow what I write, you'll probably realize I've got an affection for pop culture. HBO's "True Detective" IMO resonated with many people because IMO the writers tried to marry these different schools, and very successfully)
Again, to me, what we're taking part in is a unique process of thought. Sigrun may ultimately reach a conclusion you don't agree with, but the cool thing will be to see how Sigrun got there and why. Perhaps you, like me, will be forced to rethink our positions. Ultimately, that may lead to finding Jacob Wetterling or at least help in providing some kind of explanation, lest it ever happen again.
