I agree, they are not mutually exclusive at all. And I have not given up on LE. The billboards are great. No arrest, no named suspects, so the billboard does send a message. That LE wants to solve this case. If that Sherrif knows enough to say J&L instigated the crime, then I believe that LE knows a lot. I hated his word, but I don't think it was just pulled out of his ass. The same with calling it a hit. And out of the area could just mean the Straub's neighborhood. I just have to go with DCTim. The DNA is back, we just haave to wait and see.

I agree with this. I haven't given up on LE either. I think the fact that Lisa was murdered too is what will push them. If it had just been Johnny, maybe not so much just because of his back ground & I'm not saying that's right or OK. But with Lisa, that's someone they can identify with.... white, pretty, from a nice home, both parents still together.... married on a anniversary cruise, in nursing school, not much of a criminal background aside from one DUI.... they'll identify with her. You see that even here on this board. How many times have I read more sympathy for the Straubs than the Clarkes? lol You don't think the detectives are viewing this the same way? I'm sure they are & probably even more so because they see the effects of a criminal lifestyle on a daily basis & I'm sure that it hardens them. So Johnny, he's most likely viewed, like alot of people here have viewed him, as someone who played with fire & got burned. But Lisa.... she's someone who got caught up in a bad thing, she didn't belong in that social circle. In many peoples eyes, she is the real victim here. I don't agree with this, I think they both are victims. JMO
