I almost feel like the feds or police departments hold onto some cases that are already solved for a few decades to use for some new ghoulish shit like this as an easy win in the eyes of the masses. Like there’s no way they hadn’t already figured out EARONS by 2001 when they figured out it was one dude. It’s insane that it took a fib about a floppy disk in 2005 to figure out BTK.
There’s no way nobody has ever figured out DB Cooper or the Zodiac killer. Like, all of these long-after cold case busts with some new controversial tech always end up being some dude the cops already suspected but didn’t basically just turn himself in so they stopped caring, or that they had explicitly ruled out at the beginning based on some flaky evidence that turns out to be so obviously wrong it’s suspicious. Like there’s no way they aren’t giving up that easily on purpose.
