Is that the infamous USA Today shown in the back of the Explorer? Is that where it was found, or was it in the front part of the vehicle? If it was found in the back, doesn't that scream someone going to some trouble to keep a paper that's going to be a big part of their story? If he sat in the car and read it, then when he finished the sports scores he had to get out, go round to the back, popit open, and put the paper there. Lots of care to take with a day-old paper.
Its almost hard to type this stuff with a straight face.
