And he said, you know what's crazy?

I used to live next door to the kid that did it.

That was back when Adnan was nine or ten.

He said he used to throw the football around with him, and he always seemed like a nice kid.

But, again, he said he thought his brother stumbled on the body by accident.

Then he paused and chuckled and said, I think he was running through the woods, streaking, and that's how he found it.

When I told him that apparently he had stopped to take a pee, he said, that's possible, too.

So maybe Mr. S is telling the truth.

After all, why would a guy who's been in trouble repeatedly for indecent exposure seek out a dead girl, thus inevitably inviting more police contact to rain down upon him?

Mr. S wasn't the detective's only lead in this case.

We know they're also looking at the boyfriends.

And while I don't exactly know why their suspicions about Anand start to percolate, I have an educated guess.
