The new update into one of the most sensational cases in the US has attracted a lot of comments with a user tweeting, “Wasn’t he in a local ‘crime/murder solvers group’?

Probably tossed in a nearby river/stream.”

The second user wrote, “That’s it?? I’m sure he’s on bumble and hinge, and other sites. Probably friendfinder + other weird stuff.” A third one speculated, “Probably just to confirm he purchased the knife that they found the sheath for, doesn't mean they have proof he purchased anything from them, they're trying to get proof.” “Wow…a lot of search warrants went out,” the fourth user remarked.
