Ya know AK...I firmly believe LE went into this case with good intentions and hoping to find Haleigh or at least find out what went down that night. I also firmly believe that after some time passed, LE started to see who and what was involved and may have uncovered certain events surrounding February 9, 2009--and started backing off as these things came to light. LE's tactics took a very weird turn suddenly and the fact that they never asked for the public's help and even went so far as to turn away all help that was offered, speaks volumes, IMO.
As for Marc Klaas, I admire him to no end. He did go on NG show once and say it appeared as though RC had nothing to do with this, but in a later appearance he made a statement about RC's lifestyle having everything to do with it, but NG cut him off with some nonsense about RC's lifestyle having absolutely nothing to do with it! Good Grief!! Even if RC wasn't directly involved/wasn't there/whatever...his lifestyle had everything to do with his children being in harm's way!
About the only positive I got from this case is that I no longer watch NG. I switch the channel immediately at the mere sound of her voice and if nothing else is on, I turn the TV off. I have no respect for those who cannot be deeply pained over the suffering of a child, whether it be media, LE, or family.
