  1. At least this time it’s only nine days later they ask for help. That’s much better than the usual of three to six weeks down the road stymied again which is typical for both the SBPD & especially the SBSO led by Cryin’ Poor Big Billy Brown.

  2. Why wouldn’t there be proof he was the last person driving that car? Won’t there be DNA on the steering wheel and the door handles? Did he have the presence of mind to wipe down the car before ditching it? What about his fingerprints, the seat adjustment and so on? Or have I seen too much CSI?

  3. DNA would be in a murder where blood is literally on his hands, or in a sexual assault where there’s…yeah. Fingerprints aren’t totally reliable, they can be smudged and only show the person in question was in the car at some point in the recent past, not that they had possession of a car during a certain time period. Seat adjustment wouldn’t hold up in court. So sad, I hope they can find camera footage and/or witnesses…
