Jeffrey, a request. Are we definitely positive that it was Suzanne, personally, who dropped the keys? What evidence is there to tell us? Why don't you just team up to accuse the police not only for imperfectness of investigations, but insinuate that an officer from the substation might have developed a secret passion for the victim, or any other reason to commit the crime - thereby constituting a great motive for a collective police cover-up? As for your interview of Jeff, I think it not worth anything - after a whole year one should expect your friend, whether or not he committed the crime, to have a consistent story up and running, checked and rechecked. Therefore your interview is simply not conclusive. was aware that it might come off that way. I made jokes about others making jokes about him "returning" to the scene of the crime the next morning or about how he seemed too preoccupied with the murder. The simple truth is that if someone were murdered within a mile of one's house, assuming this were not a routine event (g), I think not taking a great interest would be more unusual. He said that was what he did and he has nothing to hide so there you go. It is therefore well conceivable that the actual killer, whoever that may be, perceives of the most likely story for your questions before even you asked him/her.
