You have to remember that a lot of these people knew each other long before JonBenét's name became known to any of them. Some had histories together, good, bad and indifferent.

These people are professionals - they were supposed to be able to remain professional at all times. Some were, some weren't.

We have NO evidence that Hofstrom broke the confidence of his position. We know Thomas did.

Attacking Hofstrom based on the fact that he continued to meet friends as he had before the murder is not going to help anything.
