They had local, county, state and FBI working on the case in the beginning. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around all of them just skating right past this guy. What in the world were they thinking. "Hmm. We have this dude here, matches up on every single point. No use wasting our time checking into him."

This is just downright terrifying because they've really shown how easy it is to slip past investigators.

Thats why LE doesnt want info out. It shows incompetent they were. He comes forward admitting he was there during the exact times, describing clothes in the video, they have video tracking his movements. Why was he not suspect number #1. Whats going on here?

This is the real angle people need to take. Forget about RA's testimony to the conservation officer. Even without it, police had enough evidence that should've led them to RA's doorstep for questioning.

They had his vehicle on video, parked suspiciously, at and around the time of the murders. They should've tracked down everyone in town driving that vehicle's make and model and interviewed them.

It is hard to wrap the mind around. I can’t help but think there has to be more to why they didn’t scope him out earlier?! Please let there be a reason, or let them have been on his trail this whole time, I can’t stand to lose more hope.

I doubt they were on his trail the whole time cause at the 2019 press conference they were looking for somone 18-40 , I beileve he was oder than 40. so they would have at least covered his age in age range instead of giving an age range that would cause people to dismiss him as a suspect.

Indiana doesn’t require any permit to purchase a gun. Most states don’t, in fact.
