Has he been ruled out? Martin Franzel – The Charley Project

No he hasn't though the circumstances make me think Martin isn't a match. It appears he was just going out for a walk not traveling all the way to Utah. The decedent was found with a suitcase, but there's no mention of one in Martin's case
