For conversation not argument (I'm afraid to state differing opinions), the initial report in this case isn't proven evidence. Imo logically it isn't because it had not been investigated yet upon its release. We know this because of the errant hospital information that appeared within the report.
When LE proceeded to check out the possibilities stated therein, they wrote on a separate page (someone in LE explained this earlier) their findings. Those are the reports we want to see as they either build upon or cancel out opinions/possibilities given initially. The initial info still has to be substantiated through phone records or by speaking to other witnesses or other methods.
Imo because one person gives two or three possible scenarios as to what may have contributed to HE's disappearance, doesn't prove those scenarios are the only possible explanations or contain the truth about what happened to HE.
The ideas or knowledge of the situations may contain the answer but they have to be proven first before the truth can be determined.
The reason why the word evidence is even being mentioned is because Detective Squirres mentioned that evidence was leaked. He then continued to discuss the report. It is back a bit. I believe, and I am not alone, that he is referring to the PR. PR's for as long as I have known have been used in trials. Pretty much anything used in a trial is evidence. I went to get a restraining order. All of my PR's were used. I right now am preparing for another trial where I am the Plantiff and I know the PR will be allowed because it documents the event. It will not prove my case, but like in my RO, it establishes the chain of events and details, documents, and establishes truth telling. Because stories change over time. Also, when talking about PR in general, if details are all left off, example, SM was known about but never mentioned. Say it was found out that at the time of the report TE knew about him through BW but no one said anything, that would be very bad and would, especially given things that have occurred...harrassment allegations. That report could be used as evidence in that case. Big stretch, I know.... But, there are many ways to use it. Does it help this type of case, no. But, there are tons of evidence in cases that don't help. I don't know all of this for a fact. This is just based on my experience that I have had in a court room and what I have learned from my lawyer.... Sadly.
Thanks for an ever pleasant discussion. Missed you around here. I always like your posts. Hope you are well.
