Credibility (Continued)

The last blog asked a question about who may have the most credibility in the Stacey Burns case and listed many possibilities. Today, let us think about the question from the opposite perspective. Look at the list from the last blog and think about which person or group are you least likely to believe is telling the truth? This little exercise should be relatively easy but can be productive as well.
In my usual naive and unrealistic state of mind, I often think it would be a fascinating study to get everyone connected to the Stacey Burns murder (police investigators, lawyers, family and friends, writers and even the "suspects") in a single room at the same time to tell their stories in front of each other? Then, I get to ask each person just two questions which they must answer, again with everyone present. Obviously, that will never happen but it is still interesting to contemplate. It would certainly help all of us to figure out who has the most and the least credibility.
The next blog asks the simple question: What exactly do cold case detectives do in their attempt to bring forth new information?
