AL has said previously that he has vetted numerous leads. But with the suspect, vehicle, prints found 26 years ago, they're only seeing it now?
Agreed. I just watched the new AL interview and was amazed when he said that until now he had never been asked about DJH.
Also - it is possible that information from some source led LE to postulate some sort of relationship or acquaintance between DR and DJH, and that they couldn't exclude DR as some sort of accomplice, hence the DR farm search, etc.?
And - I can't remember where I read this, but I thought that DR's strongest visual impression of the passenger in the gold car was that the person was cupping their hands *over the window* as one might while looking for a house number on a dark night, not covering their eyes with their hands so as not to see. Am I nuts? I swear that was what DR said.
