Yes, he was in custody. And yes, they were confident they had the right man. But they also knew for certain that they didn't have anywhere near enough to convict him. Not yet. They had no idea what was coming. David Davis was formally charged in early November.

But in late November, who could have guessed that a revelation was coming so gargantuan, so what the hell is going on, that all charges would be dropped against David Davis. One night at the police station, MacDonald was at his desk working on the case, when through the door burst the most calm and measured detective in the office, looking not at all calm and measured.

But the lingering question in the air, her relationship to Albert and how on earth they came to pose as husband and wife with two children, that was something nearly everyone we spoke to felt hard to address with us directly. Even some police only agreed to speak with us on the condition that we didn't ask them about this aspect of the case.
