Here's my problem with this sketch of a possible suspect (remember, they did not say this is a sketch "of the suspect").
First off, I know who this sketch most resembles, and if that is actually the case, then the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Colorado State Patrol and the Park County Sheriff's Office already knows who this sketch resembles, which doesn't make sense, because they already know who he is, where he is and all they have to do is practically waltz in and arrest him on suspicion of murder.
If I am correct in my assumption of who this sketch most resembles, then there are not too many people in the neighborhood or the county who will recognize him. I am being vague here, but some on this thread will probably suss out who I am talking about.
Another problem, the poster says this person was seen "at the house." It doesn't say where at the house. In the house, near the house, around the house, somewhere on the property. It seem purposely vague and really doesn't tell me much of anything.
If this sketch is who I think it is, than the "at the house" reference is not a mystery, since it is certainly a place where this person would be seen, no matter what "at the house" means.
This may not be a factor, or it may be, but there is a five-way sheriff's race now going on in the county, and the retiring sheriff (Sheriff Fred Wegener) has a favorite "son" candidate in the race, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for this person. I can say that because my newspaper has been covering the primary race, and the primary election date is June 26.
I find the poster to be a bit funny. They have put some new "evidence" on the front with the sketch, two vehicles, and on the back, they have repeated the images of possible items stolen from the house, which was already on a poster handed out a few months ago.
Why do I find it funny? Because if you read the text on the posters carefully, what they are basically say "If you see anything that doesn't look like these item, let us know."
My journalist sense is that this is simply staling, they still don't have anyone in mind and they don't have anything more now than they did at the end of December.
