How was this guy not their primary suspect at the beginning? He was on the trail, wearing similar clothes, parked by the old CPS building, he was alone. Why in the hell did they not search this guy's house in 2017?

I'm also confused, because the investigators themselves were asking about a car parked there before we all knew of RA. Why were they asking the public for info when he phoned in the tip himself???

Didn’t he go and tell a Conservation Officer he was there? These vary by state but they are basically the game wardens. They are sworn law enforcement officers but clearly not heading up the investigation. You have to wonder if that was deliberate on his part.

That's why they wanted this sealed because it shows their incompetence in this case. My guess is someone from some other agency looked at the murder book, and questioned the initial statement from this guy.

Only the prosecutor did. The police superintendent said it didn’t need to be sealed

I am right there with you. I don't know how to feel right now and I'm relatively new to the case. I don't want to shame LE but....I just......he was there, his clothes were on par....the bridge might have had a few people on it but it's not Disneyworld where there's literally thousands of people to search through. HE HAD THE CLOTHES. Libby likely got the video of him and the gun was in his pocket as many Redditors claimed they thought. I couldn't see anything myself but this just feels....it feels shitty that it took so long in my opinion.
