I have been trying since early this morning to post some info and some corrections, but a mod has just now turned on my posting ability.
1. I'm not sure if he was married but he was dating a relation of Rebekah. So, he was not JUST a neighbor.
2. It was not unusual when Rebekah had to work in the morning for him to come over and sleep on the couch until Rebekah's son woke up and then take the son to his father.
3. As should be obvious by now, he is the one who reported seeing her in the morning and said that she had left for work.
4. Contrary to what the Sherriff implied, he did have wounds to his face and hands that he blamed on an accident in his home. In line with what the Sherriff said, though, he lied to police at first and changed his story a few times prior to confessing.
5. When she did not show up for work, her boss had an employee go to her home to check on her. Her car was not there but was found nearby. The park manager (?) verified she was not in the home. Everyone that they could think of was contacted as soon as possible and Rebekah's son was located. If not for them, this could have gone on much longer and John may have been able to escape detection.
Most of the other erroneous statements have since been removed or corrected.
