You're coming very close to saying that I don't have common sense. So I will say that I asked for a source for something you stated as fact, without a link, and you didn't want to give it.
I agree that it's unlikely - but nothing about this case is likely.
Instead, you imply that I lack common sense, logic and knowledge of arrest procedure.
We theorize lots of things here, but it's great to have actual documentation. Keep in mind that the latent footprint evidence may not have been known to PA LE and this all happened fairly quickly.
I figure he had already disposed of them, but if he was still in possession of or wearing Van's by the time he was arrested, I'd like to know. I am aware that sometime between arrest minute and arrival in Idaho, someone would have taken them into evidence, but I'd like to see it verified.
That's all. Not everything goes down in a case like this according to logic.
