There are a lot of people in the CoMo area who are highly suspect of that case.

This girl swears that the one she dated is innocent and the other was totally responsible, but I haven't gleaned enough info to make a decision. Honestly though I haven't researched it enough to decide either way.

Found this thread off the other weird Westport flea market murderer thread.

In either event, we were in Georgia for the SEC championship game a few years ago and some guy comes wandering by and yells Go Auburn! So naturally we flip him some shit, he says he's just joking and that he's from Columbia.

He sits down with us and after a few minutes asks what we do. I mention I'm an attorney and he starts grilling me on Kevin Crane; former prosecutor now Boone County Judge. I have a little history with him and my stepdad actually grew up with him...I am not a fan. I say as much and he starts to scold me "because you know he's a judge now and can really create problems for you when I tell him you don't like him; he's a family friend".....WTF? Then he backtracks and casually mentions that he just got out of jail. I'm sure you can guess where this is going but it takes a damn odd route to get there. He insists he was wrongfully convicted of a drug charge.

My buddy insists he's Ryan Ferguson but I wasn't living in CoMO at the time so I had no idea and he asks the guy point blank if he is. He say he isn't and we start talking about the Heitholt murder. Oddly enough, I have no real opinion (never learned much about it). After another 20 minutes or so he just puts his hand across the table and says "I'm Ryan Ferguson, nice to meet you..." He then goes over the whole 'wrongful conviction' and subsequent overturning of his murder rap.

He's just an odd ****ing duck and pretty much a douche. He pretty much spent an hour sitting with us and lying at every opportunity he had; even creating opportunities to lie where he needed them. Oh....and after further review, I'm pretty sure he killed that guy.
