I wonder if that was ever communicated to the BPD at the time?

A known pervert saying he had 'done something horrible' and whose mailing address was the nearby Aquinas Hall which he reached by traversing the alley way in back of the Ramsey home ... but the BPD didn't feel he should be "under the umbrella of suspicion"?
