This is from Mark Beckner's deposition - - having seen Wolf's handwriting - - and it is certainly similar to that of the RN - - I am surprised he didn't have others do a comparison - - after all, they were right there - - this was a big case and... why am I surprised? Shouldn't be - - the BPD had already determined who the focus would be - - Thomas made it clear any testing done was to eliminate possible suspects, not to seriously check....
