The "inside story" here is absolutely mind-boggling. You'll note that Jim took two polygraph tests. I guess the best way to explain the second test is to say that certain conclusions were disseminated by the police about Jim's past relationships that were false and misleading, kind of like accusing a suspected terrorist of carrying an incendiary device when all they had were matches. It was, IMO, a full-scale smear campaign. Jim insisted that even though those things don't directly have anything to do with the murder, he thinks it may be stuff the police are secretly telling people to explain why he's still a suspect.

The problem he's facing is that no one has even said why he's even a suspect so he just has to flat out guess. Just think of what he's already done:

1. Talked to the police for hours without hesitation the moment he was asked without a lawyer
2. Offered to take a polygraph test
3. Offered to let the police search his apartment
4. Offered to let the police search his car
5. Offered to take a blood test
6. Did interviews with all the local TV stations and papers
7. After he saw nothing he could say or do was helping his case he hired a lawyer and was advised to just sit back and let the police do their job, which he did
8. He passed two polygraph tests by a noted expert

Consider all of that in addition to the fact that the police have no blood, hair, fiber, bodily fluid, fingerprint, murder weapon, or motive that ties Jim to the murder. What more can he do?

"Astounding" doesn't even describe things.
