It appears to me that statements are being embelished to meet an agenda rather than the truth. The person of interest was returning home from dinner with his parents in Seattle when they heard about the boy and he joined the search with everyone else. He didn't drive at the time, didn't have a license, a car or access to one. I don't see how he could do this. There was no crime scene, no motive, and not enough opportunity as the cops are claiming. They are doing just what they are advertising they are doing. TARGETING the easiest person still available. SETTING THEIR SIGHTS to fulfill their self serving agenda. And I believe they are using this terrible tragedy to make a name for themselves and prove their new unit should stay open.
Does anyone know that the boy and his father were introducing themselves to their new neighbors? It is possible that the dogs went to several homes in the area, including the house the boy supposedly left to go home. I have to wonder if he did leave to go home. Who saw him? Who reported the child missing? There were searchers out within hours, and I don't mean a lot of hours looking for this boy. The cops claim this man was placed in the area just minutes before the boy went missing. They seemed to have pin pointed this just a little too close.
I would like to know why princesa feels this man is guilty. Does this person have a vendetta, reacting to gossip, or or building their opinion based on news media? With no negative marks in school or in the military, and a clean police record, this person could have gone to school with the person of interest and decided they didn't like him. That and the belief the boy was taken from the area and the person of interest didn't drive at that time, makes you wonder if there is another motive for the opinion.
I would like to see less conjecture and more real fact finding. I believe the person of interest is being railroaded. This man is an easy target. They said it themselves, they are targeting him, setting their sights on him. And they are building a public opinion of him using only the facts that will meet their agenda. Does anyone realize that the boy and father were going around introducing themselves to their new neighbors. I find it interesting that for a boy that only lived in the neighborhood for a couple weeks was very busy with all these friends. Of course, he may have moved from a neighboring neighborhood. I have to wonder where else these dogs went to. Getting the truth from the police will be all but impossible. They want to find this man guilty and they are not interested in the truth.
The neighbor served two years in the military prior to this boys disappearance. He was sent to Vietnam the following month. He was questioned, did a polygraph and was cleared before he left. He has two remaining siblings which were not in the area at the time this took place. He had one brother that was but he died a little over a year ago. His mother passed on after that. His father has been gone for years. The neighbor wasn't there when these dogs supposedly went to his house so he can't say one way or the other. But it seems to me they would have found something and they did not. Were these dogs trained police K9 or search and rescue dogs handled by civilians or volunteers? There were other people questioned, fitting the general description of the guy in question now. Are they still alive and were they re-questioned? Who in the inner circle was searched? And if there is so much evidence, why are they sitting on it? Does anyone know for a fact that this child left his friend's house? There is nothing obvious in this case.

This man has never been in jail, never been arrested either. No other children have disappeared around him either.
He went active in 1966, remember the draft? He was in Vietnam 2 months after this boy disappeared. He got a purple heart and got an honerable discharge.
They say no one suspected foul play until Det. Tompkins started working on this case, yet the person of interest was interrogated at great length at the time of the disappearance. There is no mention of the polygraph taken at that time being passed. They have conveniently lost it. There is also no mention that everyone at the time that could vouch for this man is now dead. What did the search warrants reveal?
