I believe Hunter listened to the cops and they told him it was John, then Patsy... and I believe he was also hearing about suspects like Santa who had a LOT of strange "links" to the crime.

Last time I spoke to Hunter, he didn't seem to know who did this. I felt he was back to square one and ready to see a new investigation.

Yes, he still has the Ramseys on the suspect list - - but I think he is human and like many he just finds some strange comfort putting some face to the crime.
