(On Screen): A girl is missing from her home. Police are searching the house of a neighbor, and have seized his car for tests. But they say he is not a suspect. Does that really make sense to anyone?

Actually, yes. It makes sense to lawyers. The San Diego Police are trying to avoid making the mistake that the Atlanta police made when they accused a guard of being involved in the Olympic bombing. After months of investigation, he was cleared; and then he sued them for libel.
