Maybe this is crazy talk, Jerry, but what if, let's call him "E" for Escort actually gave LE some interesting nugget. Information that a person who was an "acquaintance" or classmate from high school might hear that night, but not information that the group who have repeatedly distanced themselves from this person would want shared. Several times we have heard via msm, that E was not close friends with cm, that he was only an acquaintance, that he didn't really hang out with them, etc... So if E we "on the fringe" so to speak, maybe he had a nugget to share.... and did. Now he's the patsy since he was the last one seen with her. BUT if he were innocent, and LE knows this because they have their own beautiful bean footage that they are holding close, LE would be looking at the REAL suspects. All the while keeping everyone guessing about E: "It must be E! Who else saw her last! etc etc" This would make certain people comfortable and more likely to slip up.
E has never been named. E has never spoken. E has never reached out to family (according to family.) Makes E look like he ain't so nice, right? The proverbial bad guy. Just the kind of guy who would harm a young woman at 4am. While everyone is scrutinizing E, LE is looking at the real deal.
Maybe LE has told E to keep it quiet, and maybe E knows he needs to because he gave up some info that is going to bring down a lot of people
Maybe....

This is golden, IMO.
I have been stuck on the fact that 'Walker Texas Stranger' has not been named in MSM and has been ruled out as a POI and not given his own account to the press. Of course there may be a myriad of reasons why he hasn't publicly come forward. But, I am liking the above theory. IMO
