There was just too many things pointing away from him being responsible for her disappearing that I don't think there was much point in investigating him at the moment.
Why would police need his assistance to recover her phone records? They should have to gone to the phone carrier with a warrant and handled it through official channels. It happens all the time. The police do not require a 3rd-party intermediary.
24-hours after she went missing, there was the extremely high-likelihood of foul play. The highest likely suspect is an ex-boyfriend. Once again, to repeat, in any case. This isn't personal against RH in any fashion.
Sorry to all the ex-boyfriends of the world -- if your ex-girlfriend is murdered, you will be considered a suspect. Be prepared to have an alibi. It sucks, but you can blame it on all the psycho ex-bfs that have killed their ex's.
Has there ever been a double-suspect/single murder victim in Manitowoc County history? Considering how rare homicide is in that area, the investigatory experience must have been very limited in a area like this. They were trying to figure it out on the fly and there were an extraordinary number of LEO people deployed to the area. Everyone knew this was a historical case and wanted to be part of the action.
I presume some of them may regret that today. They may not deserve medals and awards, but they certainly don't deserve death threats.
And it easy to examine everything in hindsight with thousands of people seeking clues in every document. The prosecution or defense did not have the luxury of unlimited time and resources. They both had their own pressures to produce results. And many LEOs were just following orders. That is what they do. You don't want them questioning every single command.
