Thicke was suspected of being the killer a year after the murders. He did seem a tad overzealous about Leather Apron, and a police officer would have every reason to be present at all times in the slums.

What do people think about his possible role in the murders?

I don't see him as a murderer, just an opportunist.

Getting his name in the papers, you mean? Or trying for premotions?

Dear Kris,

What makes you think he was suspected of being the killer?

Bob,

I think Kris is refering to the written allegation against him sent to the police, received 11/9/89 A49301/177.

Bob,

Yes, that was the allegation I was referring to. I'm not convinced he was, but I thought allegation was interesting, and he did seem really hocked up to pin the crime on Pizer.

Just a thought.

Kris, exactly--getting his name in the papers, furthering his career, looking good for the public and his bosses.
