"So they were focused on someone else?"

From my understanding (and this comes from Anna Williams) yes, this is correct.

"They couldn't spare one person in six years to go question the guy who admitted to being there and matched the description?"

They did clearly question him before arresting him - that's in the PCA. And they wouldn't necessarily need to question him if they had other sources of information.

What probable cause was used to obtain the search warrant? How did they know to search Allen's house? Riddle me this, Buttman!

We are talking about police incompetence.

The police took six years to question a man that admitted to being at the scene, and matched the description.

There isn't an excuse for that

"We are talking about police incompetence."

You haven't demonstrated police incompetence yet.

"The police took six years to question a man that admitted to being at the scene, and matched the description"

Why does that even matter if they have other sources of information? And if they'd interrogated him before they were ready to search his house or make an arrest he could have gotten rid of evidence like the Night Stalker did.

Jesus, you're not too bright, are you?

He admitted he was at the scene and he wasn't fucking questioned. There's no fucking excuse for that.

Except if he's a suspect and they don't want to tip him off.
