I don't necessarily put that down to stupidity ... one article said the room was neat as a pin. He'd skipped, left the room neat, but Sharin's body in the fridge. He apparently wasn't a slob who left everything in disarray, so I suspect that act was intended for shock value / taunting.
To make sure we stay as confused as possible LOL: am older man disappeared from a lodge in Alaska in 2009 John Melvin Wipert as of this year some bloggers have been suggesting he is DMH so the man with the thousand faces!
I don't think Wipert is Howe (google his name and you will find info) though his appearance and living status are way closer to what LE had had in mind for Howe.
7. Why did Howe skip town if he had a good job in PA? Why trade it for probably a minimum wage job in Toronto? And again, where was he in the interim?
There is something very off about this case. I am not sure what since I didn't view all of the attached media. I know all murders seem "off", but this case seems partly straightforward in the reporting and partly "what the heck did I just read" in the reporting. I'm not surprised it's unsolved.
Why haven't the fingerprints hit on any criminal anywhere since 1983? This is plenty of time for all of Canada, every state in the U.S., and a few other places to be checked for arrest records. This guy did more types of crime besides murder. Or, he did up until Sharin was killed. Why would he suddenly stop? Why hasn't he been arrested on something? The way it is now (and has been for a while), if you get arrested for ANY reason in the U.S., you get fingerprinted. This guy is a heavy drinker (or was). It's hard to imagine he hasn't been arrested since before Sharin's murder.
Why is this entry listed under the murderer rather than the victim? Is it because he is "missing"?
ETA:
And I don't think his room was that amazingly neat if the photos are how it was found. it's just mostly empty. I guess he wiped everything down before he split. That was probably just to eliminate evidence. I don't know why they jumped to the conclusion that it was so excessively orderly he surely must have a military background. I mean, maybe he does*. But, a mostly empty room that has been dusted will be pretty neat looking as compared to a room where someone still has their stuff here and there.
*Wait, what am I saying? Either we know he does or does not if Howe is indeed the person they're seeking. See what I mean? This case is weird. Do they think Howe is not Howe and that is an alias? If they think he is Howe, then do they think he served in the military under an alias? How can they not know whether Howe was in the miliary? No matter what he did or how he left, there would be a record that he was in if he was indeed in. This case is very weird.
Sorry folks for so many posts..

Rummaging thru some pics wrt Miller and believe he is showing 2 different bags that are supposed to be the bag left behind by Tommy Ross. Also, could be the lighting, but IMO the bags appear a different colour green:
In the one below, the front has one long zippered compartment with 2 other smaller compartments:

In this one, the front has only the one long zippered compartment with no smaller compartments:
