It could be news that would seem stranger than fiction, specific to certain cases and victim's family's lasered eyed focus on one suspect, whom to others, would be completely believable.
Sandra Levy's case is the most notorious of a mothers search for killer. Sandra'a mother went as far as to beat a bongo drum loudly in protest of her daughter's murder going unsolved, this action done on nationally televised news stations.
The entire country suspected Congressman Gary Condit. There was male DNA found on the belongings of Chandra Levy found in Rock Creek Park. However, the DNA has not been matched to anyone (including Gary Condit).
Imo, at times sole focus on one obvious suspect, could take all attention from another suspect, leading to an extremely cold case, and minds permantely in belief of the obvious suspect, and as a result, minds that would never consider any other POI or suspect in specific cases.
Gary Condit, had an affair and romantic relationship with Sandra, so he was the obvious suspect and may still be thought of as guilty of murder in the minds of people who do not actively go back to cases and research new leads, arrests, and suspects.
Wayne Adam Ford- Considerable time roaming Buttonville (body found, not clear if a murder or woman raped and bound, left off road/reserves/parks/forest areas, woman unnamed), San Jaoquin, plus Visalia...and others areas around and about, near Poly Tech College.
Little over an hour from Poly Tech in San Luis Obispo, depending on highway's speedlimit 94 miles. 1 hour and half if speed limit, estimation of course. He spent quite some time roaming Large national forestries around San Joaquin/Fresno parklands.
Agents do not believe with his extensive rap sheet including raping a 15 year old girl, raping undetermined amount of women and leaving them off roads with hands bound. Some women have come forward after he confessed to 4 murders. He was charged with animal cruelty and has extensive history and confession to this crime.
***Timeline: Ford married for a second time to a woman named Elizabeth in 1994 and had a son named Max in 1995, but Elizabeth abandoned him for unspecified reasons in 1996. This served as a catalyst for Ford, who became an alcoholic and started murdering and dismembering women whom he saw as surrogates of his wife and later ex-wife. He went by his middle name, Adam, during his killings. (This timeline given by the questionable self professed killer with a conscious, necrophilia, savage beatings and rape, plus severe mutilation and dismemberment, spreading body parts in great distances apart and freezing others, is not fooling agents with this actor having a conscious or feeling any remorse. They also suspect Wayne committed and began killing hitchhikers, prostitutes, and others, 4+, before his account of a 1997 hitchhiker's murder).
Ironically, he skipped from trucking job to trucking job thru out his marriages to others and thru out his marriage to Elizabeth, and was gone for extensive periods of time. The irony, I suppose, is he worked not only for long haul truck companies, but also worked with concrete trucks and pouring..OOF, imo!
