Yes you would think the information would have leaked out by now.I know that WAPOL are taking it to a whole new level of incompetence with this investigation but even then, I highly doubt there were multiple witnesses saying the BRE was Mystery Man and if his ex had called with even more details, they'd have checked him out thoroughly for sure.
They released the footage a decade after the events, it was a hail mary, there was no prime suspect (like there was in the early days of the investigation) and if anyones name had been mentioned more than once it would have been looked at.
I also feel that information would have leaked by now if it was the case.
Perhaps where they failed was within the process of elimination. When the MM footage was released Crime Stoppers would have been inundated with phone calls and passed that information to Macro. The Macro team would have then scrutinized the information, discussed it and slowly, sifted through until they had eliminated all the MM reporting’s. Macro would have then discussed which men fitted their rigid criteria.
Knowing that Macro were reluctant to give away any information they probably didn’t ask if the suspect was known to have worn women’s clothing but rather Macro may have relied on the person reporting to raise the subject – perhaps Macro hinted at the matter.
My thoughts are that the criteria was so rigid that even if someone did happen to report BRE it would have been overlooked, but these are only my thoughts.
Did the wife/wives know that he liked to cross-dress? Other people did, because he was teased at school.
