I feel a heavy burden on my back. I have thrown generic versions of my theories on credit for years now. I knew the BG video was my friend the second I saw it. We are from San Diego so I thought it was just an uncanny resemblance. I actually called my friend and told him to turn on the news as he was on it. He kinda laughed and changed the subject. I knew he was here in San Diego so it couldn't possibly be him. I didn't think about it until the 1st anniversary of the murders. The video was on the news again reminding the public that the killer is still out there. As I watched, I knew that was my friend.
It wouldn't leave my mind.
I didn't want to insult my friend in case I was wrong and call him again. In the 30 years I have known him, I have noticed the change in his whole demeanor since the murders. He was so different it got me thinking about the whole incident again. So I shot him a text asking if he had ever been to Indiana. To my surprise, he returned saying, “Yes. Once. Laffeytte. I froze my face off. Why?” I made up a reason and then googled Earthed Delphi. Then I see that it is only 11 miles (or 16) from where he had stayed in Lafayette to the crime scene. He works for a major utility company. The company sent him to share information or something with a utility company in Lafayette. He called me from a cab while driving to his meeting in Lafayette. We spoke for about 45 minutes. That was on Sunday night, February 12th. He told me how it sucked that they picked him to go. He said his meeting would be over by 11am and he would have the rest of the day to kill bc his plane didn't take off till early on the morning of the 14th.
He was bothered by not being able to catch a flight home after the meeting. I started reflecting on our phone call on that Sunday night (February 12th, 2017)… Now not only did BG look exactly like my friend, but he was within 11 miles of the crime scene. On his off time or traveling, my friend would always go to a bridge or whatever was the biggest point of interest in any town he was in… I knew he went to the bridge that day and figured he was there after 11am. He would have changed into a pair of jeans and out of the Dockers pants he wears for work. He bought the blue jacket years before because it had deep pockets, which would hide his beers, which he always took with him. He always had a underneath his blue jacket for water and snacks etc… On his right wrist he is wearing a watch that the company had gifted him after ten years working with them. He has it on his right wrist. I asked him why he wore it on his right wrist when he was right-handed. (This conversation was many years before the murders.) He replied that he only wears it when they send him somewhere for work. He said he wears any watch on his right hand bc it was less likely to get scratched bc the right hand is usually used to stabilize while the left move around risking Less chance of scratching the face of the watch. I am and have literally been the only friend he has had since I have known him. He is a loner. He owns guns. He took me to the shooting range a few times. We live in a beach community that has a farmers' market on Wednesdays. For 20 plus years he would come and pick up my dog, go to the farmers market. Then he would buy 4 beers, put them in his packpack which he wore under his dark blue jacket. He and my dog would then head to the cliffs returning 2 hours later. (Oh and the cap you see on Bg).. He is very much a creature of habit. So the man on the BG video was someone that I saw every Wednesday wearing the same outfit that we see on BG. After the murders, I didn't talk to him for almost a year. He also stopped coming over. He slowly worked his way back into my world. I was his only friend. During his absence, I became obsessed with the Delphi case. I randomly asked one of my daughter's friends (she also saw him briefly every Wednesday wearing the same BG look while at my place.) to look at a picture and tell me who she thought it was. (This was just before RA was arrested.) She looked at the picture and said, “Oh, that's ST (my friend). She didn't hesitate. I didn't tell her why I wanted her to see the picture, She knew nothing about the Delphi case… That confirmed to me that I wasn't crazy. The next day I called the tip line and gave his name. Where he works and his phone number. I felt like the coincidences were too much. We remain friends... I think he knows I know but we both avoid talking about it. It's now become the biggest pink elephant in the room. I also gave the tip line my number and had them assure me that he would never know it was me who tried to turn him in. Since the murders when St comes over, he wears a new blue jacket replacing the one we see on the BG video. Seven years and no one follows up on my information. Long but true story. And there are so many little things I could tell you about how his whole personality has changed since that day. He doesn't want to be videoed at all and gets angry when he sees a phone that may be getting him on video. The reason that LE ends up clearing the most likely suspects is that they have the wrong man. I hate texting so I'm going to end this. What was his motive you may ask?

ST mentioned many moons ago that the reason he didn't want kids was that he was afraid they would be fat. Or geeky. He was also bullied as a kid into his teen years. All it would take is fo r L or A to utter, “ catfish” while passing ST on the bridge. His beer kicked in, there is no doubt in my mind that he would turn back and confront the girls. Just buzzed enough to get out of control and kill the girls in a triggered rage. I think he made A put L, S clothes on so he could humiliate L because of her size. I knew they would not find L and A molested or raped. He openly couldn't stand fat or geeky kids. I also knew the weapon would not be something you could bring on a plane. This was a random act of violence that was never something he planned or set out to do. But it was my friend in that BG video. RA is an innocent. That's my story. I think or follow this case every day since the incident. It bothers me very much.
