The way I see it is that he should be thoroughly investigated. As a result of this hew should then either be cleared as a potential perp OR arrested and a case made for a Grand Jury indictment. Fair enough, the latter might well fail due to passage of time etcetera.IT is DNA that includes Terry Hobbs but not any of the WM3. That is enough for me to think he needs to be arrested and investigated.
This thread has gone a bit off-topic, so I will keep up the good tradition.
At first I was willing to dismiss the Bojangles event in the same way as mentioned in a few posts. At one time I thought the whole thing had been invented. Then I thought it had been fabricated as a decoy to get police officers away from the crime scene.
After taking the time to read "officer Meek's busy evening" (1) thoroughly, and Marty King's testimonies (2) (3) at both trials, I began to realize this story could be quite significant in many different ways.
There is no way round the fact that this man was a serious suspect. It does not matter what anyone thinks or says, this man could have possibly been involved in the murders. Everyone knows the details, so I won't go into them.
This thing should have been examined, cross-examined, and I am sure it would not have taken too much investigation to trace this man down. Not only was he a possible suspect, he was a possible eye-witness of the
murders, or a witness to the boys being ditched by the Murderer/s.
This is a major example that we are not dealing with shoddy police work or anything similar. This is an example of a deliberate method in the way the police are working.
Speculation:
Mr. Bojangles came in at the Blue Beacon Truck wash (4), went into the Robin Hood woods, either to pass through to the Santa Fe railroad, or for a few hours rest before carrying on his journey on the interstate.
Could the bag (5) with clothes and Bic razors belong to him?
He witnessed what ever went on there, before being detected and attacked by the perpetrator/s. He fled in the direction of Missouri, and ended up in the ladies rest room at Bojangles. Why the ladies rest room? If this guy was being followed or chased then the ladies toilet would be a better hiding place than the men's.
Marty King's statement/testimonies seem very solid to me, he even reasons why he was sure of the times, something done very seldom in this case. Mr Bojangles seemed dazed/mentally ill (was not alcohol). That is the kind of state I would expect to see someone in, who has seen something very shocking, and has then fled for his life.
Either way, as a suspect or a witness, if Mr Bojangles had later been found, he could have destroyed the police cover up of TH, or the set-up of the WM3. As far as stepping forward himself, he knows that the real perpetrator/s is still at large, and he would probably fear for his life. I certainly would not turn myself in to the wmpd after what happened to the wm3!!

After reading the mentioned pages, especially "officer Meek's busy evening", it all reminded me of a very frustrating jigsaw puzzle I tried to do as a child. It was a picture of a harbour with many similar boats and a lot of blue sky. I managed the boats, but the big area of blue sky was terrible. Every piece had to be turned many different ways to try and make them fit!!
Yes, but I don't think the killer stabbed "Mr. Bojangles." I think he shot him, possibly in the arm. Remember TH has a missing 9mm, and a 9mm was found in the area and there was at least one (I think more) person who reported hearing gunshots.

earlier in this thread someone made a list of those who did not do the
'right' thing. They included Fogleman as the Prosecutor. He wasn't. Brent Davis was.
Good point about the bag with the clothes and the razors in it. I've always
wondered about that bag.
Ok so we are saying the possibility is that the Bojangles man saw the aftermath of the
attack somewhere in the woods say around the man hole? He sees 3 boys laying there and
bloody. The killer (say it's TH) is there holding a knife and detects him comes over to him
and perhaps knocks him around a little and slashes him. Hey he's an easy target with a cast
right? Bojangles man runs away loses him and ends up at the restaurant. It's probably the
worst thing he's ever seen so disoriented, sick, and bleeding. Now TH has to move the
bodies because Bojangles might talk. But Bojangles is a drifter with a past and doesn't
talk because he'll be accused. So leaves town asap.
There are a myriad of possibilities.
Although I do believe it would have been hard to track Bojangles down,
especially if he was a drifter. It seems like the WMPD did make some sort of effort
But what would Bojangles MO be? Where there any racial tensions in that neighborhood? I remember reading some of Byers' statement in Callahan, that he didnt want his son to play where alot of the black kids lived.
Im also wondering why the murderer found it necessary to castrate Chris Byers...why not the rest of the two boys unless the murderer (s) didnt have time
One last thought. TH said he was in the woods with officer Meek. Officer Meek doesn't
mention seeing TH. Maybe he was hiding in the bushes at the time, and later he forgot that she
couldn't see him.
