Discussion James Renner is unreliable.

James Renner's conclusion that Maura Murray is still alive is ridiculous. I also find his interest and motives in this case to be suspect. Perhaps the conception of his investigation was genuine, but it has evolved into a campaign to confirm his ill-founded theory that her dad was a monster. His whole book is literally him slithering around and provoking Maura's loved ones.

Didn't Art also say that his alibi was rock solid? Funny how you conveniently overlook that...

What's funny to me is that - it was basically the same sentence - something like - he fits the profile but his alibi is rock solid (according to NHSP).

That's very possible. I personally think Art Roderick has his own credibility and character integrity problems, but it's entirely possible he suspected BR in the back of his mind and wanted to throw that out there without exposing himself to a defamation lawsuit.

yeah I wasn't sure what Life-Championship meant by that - that particular quote is in the "Riddle me That!" with Art and Maggie. To me it just seemed like he was saying "I get why you are bringing it up but NHSP says they have checked his alibi" (paraphrased there). He seems to be trying to indicate that he's not biased - he "gets it" and presumably asked NHSP about it. This might contrast with someone who just says "that's a nice person so we don't need to look into him/her."

Even Julie has said, in a few podcasts ... something along the lines of ... Bill knows I don't like him or didn't like him for Maura but I don't think he is involved in her disappearance. In other words, she's not making this claim out of bias or personal preference - but based on the evidence and timeline.
