Yeah, both of those Garys were bad guys but only Hilton had a connection to the trail and hiking in general. But more important, both had violent histories and problems extending from childhood. Laundrie doesn't fit the same profile. Whatever happened - and we simply don't know - seems more like it might be a domestic issue gone horribly wrong. He's scared and running/hiding, but I don't see him as a predator type like the two guys you mentioned. But, just MHO.
Fair enough. I'm sure they have info that isn't being released. But they sure don't seem hot on the trail of much of anything.
