    And that is partly why I have no desire to come up with a list of my own, Herlock. Frankly, no named suspect would justify my consideration above anyone else, because the 'evidence' we have been left with is equally lacking against every man Jack of 'em.

    It's the perfect definition of a cold case, which would need new evidence to put one suspect - named or not yet named - above the rest.

    Love,

    Well said Caz. Not having a preferred suspect is, IMO, definitely an aid to clear thinking.

    Cheers, George
    I'm a short timer. But I can still think and have opinions. That's what I do.

      Not necessarily so, my friend. Sometimes questions are phrased to elicit an anticipated response. Sometimes answers do not fit the required parameters for a response and are therefore discounted. Sometimes questions that have a response that is perceived as unacceptable to the asker are repeated to the point of exhausted exasperation. In the final summary, those who are asked questions have the right to determine whether the question is worthy of reply on the basis of the understanding of the questioner of the proposals of the person being questioned.

      Cheers, George
