I only came across this thread due to mention of it here: WA - WA - Skull found after mudslide, Tacoma, Jan'22 (websleuths.com)
by @Springrain .
How heart-breaking this case is. In reading through Teekah's thread, it is mentioned that while filming a re-enactment of her disappearance a week later at the bowling alley one of the bystanders who was watching noticed, and reported to police, another watching bystander who was acting strangely during the re-enactment and who met the same description given by John.
So both John and this witness to the re-enacted separately described a similar suspicious individual within very close time periods to each other. How did this critical information get overlooked at the time!!?? How was it overlooked for 21 years!!??
Have the police gone back to whoever filmed the re-enactment to see if they happened to take any footage of the bystanders watching it unfold? Seems to me that would be common police investigative tactics these days (filming funeral attendees, searchers etc), but perhaps was not back then. BUT, it has to be worth a try to at least ask if there happens to be footage still around that may incidentally have captured this suspicious individual on film. If so, I'm certain that a release of such footage to the public would trigger someone's recall or allow for identification of this individual whom they seek to find.
Such a missed opportunity; may Teekah get her justice.
