The theory seems compelling to me. The same guy they found by searching the newspaper for similar language, happens to be one of the guys police interviewed near the crime scene walking his dog. Among other coincidences. Pretty fun to speculate, don't think it'll ever get solved, but it's interesting.

You’d think these days there would be a way to analyse language in the public domain for similarities though perhaps the job is just too big.
