Can't help but stick my opinion in, since I feel very invested. This is the number one thing that stood out to me. It is a scientific fact that it is extremely hard to tell colors apart in the dark. Depending on how bright the lights were nearby and if he saw them in his headlights or not... I mean, it's just not really possible to see navy blue. He specifically makes it a point to say that he saw blue clothing, not just clothing in general. Our eyes' rods work in dark light, and rods don't detect color. Blue, specifically, shares such a similar color gradient w black that it makes it even harder to decipher.
I have some pictures that I took along that road they showed the search on. It was around 6:49pm in that area. I just don't see finding dark blue shorts at night unless it was in the evening then maybe if they were right on the side of the road and not in the ditch. But not in the dark unless the headlights happen to land right on those shorts just at the right time.
