I think he was afraid of the dog.

I, unfortunately, was witness to a car accident where a drunk driver slew a motorcyclist. I was only thirteen years old at the time but, still, that very night I spent thousands of dollars to relocate to Antigua. Why? Because I was so sure I didn't do it, and I didn't care that my family thought I had mysteriously died in the night. That's what innocent people do, after all.

edit: I do want to say that I can respect that people who aren't the prevalent race of the area have the good instinct to not be involved, because justice is screwed up and there's a "rich" history of accusing the "other" in any situation of being a convenient culprit. But also, people who aren't involved tend to shy away and refuse to cooperate instead of abandoning their family and fleeing to another continent.

I'm a bit confused as to what you're saying. Is it that even people who aren't vulnerable because of their race and lack of status often resist coming forward as witnesses?

I was surprised that only about half of the cars in the broadcast five minutes ended up being identified. Probably some of them didn't know they were wanted, but it's likely some were as you describe--innocents shying away for no particular reason.
