I wonder how much evidence still exist in the case of James and Pam.
Some questions I have:
Is it still possible to extract DNA from their clothes?
And the matches from the trucks top, that James had, was it dusted for fingerprints, or DNA?.
It could be that it wasn't from James or Pam at all, but from the killer and James put it in his pocket
Most likely both of them didn't smoke, but it was in his pocket (if I am not mistaken)
So I think he used it very often for making a bonfire, or something?
Wonder how many matches there were left? (was it ever used?)

Didn't lonnie had a brother or family, who was in the military?
The war in Vietnam ended in 1975,I if I am not mistaken.. I don't know, how bad it was, when you returned to the States, as a vet (flowerpower time)
Was it easy to find a job?
Did you get payed, a few years after or got a compensation?
Was it possible to stay in the military?
Or maybe lonnie got involved in smuggling drugs, alcohol, guns, or so to make extra money...
All speculation and Imo.ofcourse..
IIRC, according to the obituary posted a couple pages back stated that Lonnie's brother worked as a butcher for Winn Dixie Supermarket. He retired from there after 30 years. Sounds like he did ok, but may have done things to supplement his income.
