From RA's Attorney Press Release
<snipped & BBM>
The police did not contact Rick after Libby German and Abby Williams went missing,
rather Rick contacted the police and voluntarily discussed being on the trail that day.
Like many people in Delphi, Rick wanted to help any way he could. Rick contacted
the police to let them know that he had walked on the trail that day, as he often did.
Without Rick coming forward, the police probably would not have had any way of
knowing that he was on the trail that day.
Rick volunteered to meet with a Conservation Officer outside of the local grocery
store to offer up details of his trip to the trail on the day in question. Rick tried to
assist with the investigation and told the police that he did recall seeing three
younger girls on the trail that day. His contact with the girls was brief and of little
significance. Rick does not recall if this interaction with the Conservation Officer was
tape-recorded but believes that the Conservation Officer scribbled notes on a
notepad as Rick spoke to him.
2 Things Interesting to me here:
1) We don't know what day RA first contacted LE, it doesn't say it was the 13th, 14th or any date. I don't think it was the day
of the murders because they weren't officially missing persons until the 14th.
2) He agreed to meet with the CO outside of the local grocery store and believes the CO scribbled notes on a notepad?
MOO
