Mr. Bojangles and the “hitchhiker” were fiction way back then. And there were two other suspects back then. I’m not sure they are both alive now, as I’ve not kept up on the case for over a decade. But to refer to fictitious characters as theoretical suspects is not a good look.

Anyway, DNA is going to be the final word. Maybe I’m wrong and the WM3 are guilty. Or maybe I’m right and the WM3 are innocent. Or maybe the DNA will be inconclusive, and we’ll still be at odds, and Arkansas will celebrate.
