Q. And you weren't even, I guess, aware that Mr. Ubowski and the CBI said they don't even make
that kind of analysis with respect to the 24 out of the 26 letters of the alphabet, you don't know anything
about that --
A. No.
Q. -- in terms of the public statement by the CBI after your book was published?
A. The CBI made a public statement?
Q. Yes, sir.
A. As an organization, I haven't seen that.

As an "organization", I haven't seen that(??)

What the heck does that mean?

This case needed ONE individual within BPD pulling together all the reports and evidence at the end of each day and then reporting a summary to all involved and then assigning a to do list that would bring the loose ends together. It just sounds like there were all these fingers in the pie, each with their own individual 'knowledge', and no coordination of the gathered results. It sounds to me like Steve was assigned Patsy (or chose Patsy). Was Eller supposed to be the one to do this? Eller, the guy who didn't need anyone's help on this case?

I have a feeling that Lou was gathering EVERYTHING and coordinating the information and TRYING to report the results to the others. Fell on deaf ears?

Something was very amiss in the way in which the gathering and sharing of information was being handled - or was it just Steve Thomas?

Is there anyone there (at BPD) who really KNOWS this case?
