or if he has. Personally I don't like him as a suspect but I have never heard anyone say he was cleared. The press release said he wasn't considered a suspect at that time but a witness. Never said that he was cleared by any means.

I think I just said it all. He certainly was a reasonable suspect. I haven't heard that he was cleared for good reason (alibi, DNA, handwriting) but I think he is totally innocent here. That is my personal opinion and the reason I haven't discussed him as a suspect. I don't suspect him.
