There were plenty of posters who focused on the wrong individuals as we sleuthed the case. Think of all the svh/Houtz theories, kevin did it theories, etc. People who were focused on for a long time, but who had nothing to do with Jacob at all. I know personally I moved from DR to Hollinger, to various priests, to Hart, and back to DR. Never even heard of Heinrich until helping ELOC with research and reading his books. It's part of the nature of sleuthing to suspect many different people until all are eliminated. So let's not be too rough on ourselves.
