...for Davern to go to the police? With the release of GNGS, it seems he isn't afraid of repercussions for himself anymore. So if he's willing to tell his story, is he willing to come forward to the authorities?

I haven't got my copy of GNGS yet, so I don't know if perhaps this is addressed in the book.

And if you don't believe Davern - fine, you're entitled to your opinion, but you've made it clear a million times in other threads. You haven't convinced me there and you won't here.

So please, I'd rather just hear from people who do believe Davern on whether or not you think it's possible for the case to be reopened all these years later based on his account of the events of that night.

Sorry, put the title in the name box by mistake.

I read the whole book. Rulli begs the authorities to re-open the case. It's not that they were indifferent to her request, more that they are waiting to see. If that sounds vague, it's not meant to be. I get the impression from the book that Davern would fully cooperate. They did the polygraphs, it seems, to impress the authorities, and claim he'd do more tests. The lead cop, though retired, has a son at the department, and I wouldn't doubt that's their ultimate mission, but I don't know for certain.

Thanks for the info. Nope, that doesn't sound vague, I get what you mean. My copy of GNGS is on the way, can't wait to read it.

Can I ask a question without getting people crazy? If they were to reopen this case and Dennis Davern stepped forward does he know that withholding evidence or whatever it is called from 27 years ago would make him an accessory if any type of foul play was involved by anyone?

That's a possibility which I'm sure he is aware of.

I would suspect, as in most cases, they would cut a deal with Davern. According to this book, though, he only knows circumstantial evidence. It is extrememly strong stuff he knows, but nothing incriminating to himself I would think. Also, Walken withheld information, too. Those three men decided to cover this up. It was too embarassing, I suppose. It also says in the book that going through your attorney isn't illegal. Most hig-profile people get attorneys and are told not to talk. Davern did as he was told. This is the police's fault. They are the ones who accepted that situation of allowing attorneys to handle it all.
I'm not legal savvy, but someone who is told me Davern's safe from any repercussions. He's been trying to tell this story for ages, and they contacted the detectives on the case. That fact would help Davern in a law situation. This is on the cops' heads now.
