LE has not released a lot of info they have, I'm sure. From what they have told us, JM was with Hannah, left a place with Hannah and is the last person they can place with her. Her trail goes cold (from what we know) after that point. If indeed a bar tender served JM and Hannah without checking IDs, that person could be in trouble, yes, but most people, given the seriousness of this situation would still report the sighting to the police. Perhaps, they granted immunity for that transgression. Also, many college students have fake ID.
The police had JM right within arm's reach twice. Once at his apartment when they searched and seized his car, and again when he walked into the police station armed with an attorney. They did not move to go after him either time. When he left, he apparently drove recklessly enough to get a warrent out for his arrest. Also, someone just figured out they could possibly go after him for giving alcohol to someone under age. There is no mention of arresting him for the disappearance of Hannah Graham.
Bear in mind that even if evidence of Hannah being in the car is found, what can they accuse JM for? No body? She could have been in the car, left the car and gone off with someone else. She could be alive right now with someone. It's happened before.
Frankly, it appears to me that JM left with Hannah who was "out of it" and they went somewhere in his car, and something bad happened. I would not be surprised if she were killed or injured badly and her body tossed off somewhere. But there is no evidence of that as of now.
I would advise any friends or family being questioned hostiley by police with evidence putting them in a bad way, to get an attorney skilled in this area and follow that attorney's advice. JM is an African American male under suspicioun about a white woman's disappearance in a southern state. Something that is not going make anyone who knows him feel comfortable about his predicament.
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that JM told the attorney that he tried to pick up someone fitting Hannah's descrip that night and bought her a drink, maybe even took her to his car but that was it. Attorney might have advised him to keep mouth shut and stay away from Charlottesville until more development arises. I don't believe an attorney is permitted to keep quiet about possible or actual harm, so most guilty clients will lie about the actual crime, and the attorney will have to go by that.
As for LE, they don't have anything more than this, so they are focusing their attention on JM. Statistically, I think they are on the right track, but the way LE works, they go after whoever is in their sights with a vengeance until proven wrong. ANyone who has watched some of the ID real life crime shows can see how various police have doggedly gone after POI after POI, sure that the person was the perp until a piece of evidence comes up disproving their theory They tend to have trouble, as a rule, to focus on more than one thing at a time, IMO.
Still, it's usually the simplest thing that is what happened, and this looks pretty straight forward to me. That they did not have the wits to grab JM when they had him doesn't make me feel like they are the smartest cats in the field.
