Harold Roland certainly looks like a possibility. The problem is that he’s from Texas, and isotope tests on the remains indicated that the victim was local. A lot of areas have very specific profiles as far as isotopes are concerned, but results can vary. The local isotope results might not eliminate Harold. Harold could have lived in Kentucky when he was young, or the area in Texas where he lived might yield a similar isotope result. We’d have to know more about Harold’s life, and where he grew up. That said, not every area has detailed isotope mapping.
The deliberateness and tremendous effort involved in Harold’s disappearance shows someone going to great lengths to make Harold disappear and scatter his possessions. Wrapping him in chains and throwing his remains in a lake remote from his home wouldn’t be unexpected given the other acts that occurred.
