Or it may simply be that the police had seized a knife that was at the crime scene and had later learned about the suitcase being owned by JAR and simply decided they might be able to build a case of that is where the knife had been. No real facts on which to base this assumption, but that ofcourse means there are no real facts to prove otherwise either. So it was probably just one more attempt at amassing a whole lot of innuendo.
