So it seems to me that a minimum of one person either trusted by one or more of the women or a ruse was used. I think that is undisputed.
I am having some difficulty with the view that Garrison is connected to this crime. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't he sprung from jail by one of the detectives for an absurdly low bail amount $500 (and he was only on the hook for 10% or $50.00)? If he was actually considered a top suspect why would anyone conceive of such an idea to allow him out of jail?
Hypothetically, suppose he had nothing to do with this crime. If he had nothing to do with this crime it might have been one of the other two GJ3. We know that one is in the slammer (or was), and one is (believed) to be on the street. We also know they were tight having spent time in Kansas before they were released some three weeks prior to the women going missing. My recollection is that all of them had a rap sheet as long as my leg.
Further extending this out, suppose NONE of these guys were involved? Can that possibility be ruled out? I don't think so; especially if one is inclined to believe that the perpetrator was "trusted" by one or more of the women.
If the GJ3 had nothing to do with this crime. Who are we left with? Are we absolutely 1,000% certain that the SPD is squeaky clean? There are so many things about this case that do not pass the smell test. Why not consider the possibility there was police involvement. If that is plausible, isn't it also plausible that the women would have trusted a uniformed officer or a plain clothed detective? Just saying.....
