What makes you think he's out of the woods yet? The cops have a body and exactly one name tied to it (as far as we know). That's not a pleasant position to be in.
Not only that, but he touched the skull and tracked the whole area up. Guess who's DNA forensic's is going to detect?My buddy found a dead guy sitting by the Wilson in Oregon while he was steelheading a few years back. Luckily, the body was still warm and the medical examiner deduced he had died of a heart attack. Until then, my friend was the prime suspect and they told him to remain at home until they contacted him.
It makes you think, you're putting a lot of trust in law enforcement to come to the correct conclusion.
I hope this turns out okay.
Which is a good reason NOT to touch the skull. Anything in the area of that scene COULD be evidence, and any handling of such evidence can taint same.
You could be right, evil. He may not be in the clear as of yet. HOWEVER.....the police have to eliminate him as a suspect as was mentioned. We are not privy to the investigation , but chances are he was cleared. He had a legit reason to be in the area (hunting). He was questioned and released. Again....most likely cleared.
Most law enforcement officers I know would hate to accuse the wrong guy. But in order to conduct a proper investigation, all angles must be covered and eliminated.
Oh, one more thing...taking pictures of anything which may be construed as evidentiary later on could be admitted in court as evidence. Putting such potential evidence on the internet COULD compromise the investigation. I wouldn't expect the OP to know this as he is not in law enforcement, but it is something everyone might want to think about lest we find ourselves in court with our pictures testifying in a murder trial.
