They knew the kid...but couldn't identify him. BULLSHIT!
Of course they identified him. Are you not paying attention? The fact that they knew his identity was kept from the press.
No, it is bullshit...they would have arrested him the day before. He was hiding at home? They didn't check. BS. You don't hide the identity of a murder...it is a public safety issue.
What kind of fool would assume that the family and the police fabricated a lie? What purpose would that even serve? Are you dense boy? You do realize there will almost certainly be an explanation forthcoming, but let me guess, when that time comes, you will refute it by screaming "bullshit" over and over again like a child? It will only make you look more stupid, but be my guest.
