Absolutely not. The "range" is simply a "guide", not a method in which to eliminate suspects.I agree. I was being purposefully flippant and terse in order to vent my continuing frustration with H-B. Flooding the FA's with photos right after the jacking is the wrong thing to do. Seems there was some confusion right after this heist as to who was in charge, or it hadn't been decided? T'wood have been interesting if Harold Campbell had been given this case. His office probably would have received several calls from Portland about a certain truck driver/sky diver. The question is what would HE have done?
I think Harold Campbell would have been all "over" a certain truck driver who lived on a houseboat across the street from PDX. Not to mention, this particular truck driver had just lost his job, was booted from an airport due to the FBI/FAA complaint, and was in the process of getting "booted" from his place in Donald.
Teddy boy knew this as well. That is why he "insisted" on talking to a certain agent. No one else would do. Just what was so important that Teddy boy had to talk to H-bach, at that particular minute, on that particular night, and never again. Hmm.?
That, and the fact that there is absolutely no fabric of methodology. Even Colombo( I know he's fictitious) uses methodology as his core and then because of the complexity of his cases has to take chances and use string theories to put it all together. The fact is that regardless of how smart someone is, we all use basic common sense in resolving everyday problems. If a noise in your transmission could either be from being a quart low or needing a full rebuild, what functional person would ever have the tranny rebuilt before adding a quart of fluid?
Agree. You start with the "most" likely, and the least expensive. Hence, you start with "local" suspects, and one's with the ability to pull off such a heist. Even today, very, very few people, would have the knowledge to "originate" such a plan. Many could copy, but, very few could come up with such an idea.
The idea of "not" investigating the most experienced skydiver living in Portland at the time is beyond comprehension. Like I said earlier, I don't care if Mayfield called in at 6pm, he still should have been investigated, and his alibi checked out. I just can't believe that H-bach never interviewed those FA's. Sounds a lot like Nifong.
Good example. Let's say your case isn't going well and like ours you have no real suspects. You've set your range to 33-47. So you get a call about a suspect that is a skydiver with a suspicious past but he's only 29 years old. Do you cross him off the list? After all he doesn't make the lower limit of your range.
