I've wondered now for three years how anyone could have search warrants presented and their house and cars gone through and not know that the gig was up? How could anyone with half a conscious sit there and pretend they didn't already know he was dead? How could they pretend they'd driven as far as Texas Creek to look for Jim but never as far as Canon City again? And yet his car had been found in the Lone Pine pull out... in plain view. Some questions I'll never have answers to.
Some I understand a little more with each passing day. I've done a lot of reading in the last year about individuals who could do that. If anyone is interested in trying to understand just how a person could sit there and try to play the authorities after such a brutal event might I suggest checking out "The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless Versus the Rest of Us" by Martha Stout. It helped to know we hadn't been alone in dealing with people with that type of mentality.
