I could imagine that LE knows something big that convinces them JM is their guy and they just can't share that with us--but they know. Like with Randy Taylor and Samantha Clark. LE knew he was the last one with her. Then when Alexis Murphy went missing and RT is the last one with her, too--well they just know, but they need evidence to prove it. So I can imagine that maybe JM popped up in the MH case. What if he did, and LE cant reveal that but they know it? I can imagine this kind of scenario for instance.
The problem is right now Longo is not giving me reason to trust him. In fact, just the opposite, I am finding more and more reasons to doubt him.
I don't find LE's statements to be reliable. They released a description of a POI with a shaved head and goatee. They claimed HG was walking with a reflection. They said JM was "known to police", giving an impression that was worse than his record appears. (Though, maybe he is known informally by way of the MH case). They claim JM fled, but what car was he driving? For instance, LE is clearly walking a very fine ethical line, outing JM but saying "media told you his name". That's not fully honest. There seems to be some fudging with the truth going on-for what purpose I don't know--maybe for very good purpose, but I am not privy to the reasons and so I am just expected to trust LE. I can't really do that in this case.
I've been looking for red flags with JM, but keep finding red flags with LE! The expressions of emotion/anger is over the top and concerns me. Yes, of course he would be emotionally invested--but he is trained to do this job. EMT's and doctors and forensics folks see horrible things everyday, and you could say it was understandable if they were emotional too, but they are trained not to be--for good reason. IMO
