    You mean that what appeared to be a meticulously planned and masterfully executed assassination, such that there was little to no usable camera footage wasn’t likely to be undone the perp wandering around with a written confession and the murder weapon days later?

    I’m shocked there haven’t been more conspiracy theories on this.

      You need a second such incident for the conspiracy to work. Because the implication is that the real saint is out there working his miracles.

      Agreed. I always wondered how two different backpacks came into the picture.

      And it would explain the drones in the tristate as they could be useful for finding the suspect.
