Either way, investigators never uncovered any proof that Ron was connected to the shooting.

Investigators told reporters, we have investigated all of those angles at the time.

Thousands and thousands of man hours have gone into trying to prove those theories, but we weren't able to prove anything.

We put Ronald Sinek under a microscope and we couldn't find anything.

And to date, all we know for sure, it was a robbery homicide.

After looking into Ronald Cenac, investigators began to look at another potential connection to the crime, the man's youngest son, RJ.

RJ Cenac tended the bar at the bowling alley, and several tips claimed that RJ was involved in a substantial amount of drug activity.

The theory was that RJ was potentially buying or selling cocaine at work.

Then the gunman found out about this and tried to intercept the drugs.

Police looked into the claims and discovered that RJ did in fact have an active cocaine addiction, but they said there was nothing there that could truly link him to the shooting.

RJ's name was cleared at the time and a few years later in 1997, he passed away from a drug overdose at the age of 36.

One of the most promising tips that police received early in the investigation came from a woman named Irma Tejerina.

Irma called the police to let them know she believed the men who committed the crime had been temporarily staying in her home after meeting them at a nearby bar.

They hid in her home when they heard the helicopters overhead looking for them.

Although when police interviewed the woman, she appeared very high.

She claimed the men killed the people at the bowling alley thinking there was a large stash of drugs inside.

She also had no proof, but offered to take a polygraph test to prove that she was in fact telling the truth.

Which obviously, back in the 90s, polygraph tests were used all the time.

And, you know, they're even still used today.

So they had Irma take the polygraph, where she told police details about the men, and the fact that they had been staying with her, saying she believed they committed the crime, and she ended up passing the polygraph test.
