Here we are at seven-plus years.

We are not entirely agreed on the various possible crimes: kidnapping, molestation, murder for enjoyment, murder for witness disposal.

We are not entirely agreed on the precipitating chronology: long simmering grudge versus hyper-emotional reaction to the very recent newspaper article. Or all the myriad intermediary possibilities.

We are not agreed on the geography: Immediate neighborhood, general neighborhood, Boulder, Denver, Michigan, Timbuktu.

We are not agreed on the target: Parents as primary, secondary or not really targets at all.

We don't agree on the duration of the strangulation or its manner.

We don't agree on the duration and enjoyment of the "other activities" in which he engaged.

Ofcourse there is also such matters as: dna sampling and testing, evidence assessment (such as ignoring the rogue dna and duct tape manufacture).

Sure, there is indeed progress. Its no longer an official witchhunt. Its an investigation instead of a media campaign of police intimidation by innuendo.

But why can't we find this guy?
