Check out this find by a reader:
Did police “check the fellow out”? Was he just one of the thousands of men who bore some resemblance to the composite photo? What question did he ask task force member Jerry Tobias?
The reader said it seems inconceivable that the police would not seriously investigate the report of the man attempting to visit funeral home after hours. There was no public wake. Just immediate family. This was either a sick fuck or a sadist participant in the crime. Either way, it warranted a diligent investigation that would have generated some kind of police report.
I agree that there may have been a strong tendency to dismiss this person as just some oddball, and that they probably had little information beyond a physical description (young, as in his 20’s, was all I recall). But if they were worried about a funeral card being left at Mark Stebbins’ body drop site, some freak showing up at the funeral home, or some look-alike asking questions at a taping with Jerry Tobias should have moved police to diligently investigate and document the results or lack thereof.
What I find inconceivable that this massive serial killer case lacks an index to the case files or any system whatsoever for finding this report or anything else. Not everyone in that mountain of disorganized paper is simply an oddball weirdo. Some of those oddball weirdos were also participants in these abductions, captivity, rapes, assaults, murders and body dumps of children.
