A few days later they told him he was their chief suspect and to get a good lawyer.

The Producer called his law firm and they flew in someone from legal land who finally convinced the cops the guy could not have done it.

But the cops needed to hang someone and this guy was handy. Anyway, they let him go. The case is still unsolved after twenty seven years.
