Two thoughts I haven’t seen mentioned here:
1. Romero in that interview clip (that I believe Bella provided a link to) said he didn’t know Ricci (even though I think he lived only 2 doors away), but there were reports that the two HAD been known to associate together. So perhaps Romero can be seen to be lying about that.
2. In watching another program on another criminal, they mentioned it was actually quite common for sexual offenders/rapists to start out with burglaries, before proceeding to actual physical contact with their victims. Therefore, Ricci, with his burglary record, is not as far-fetched a suspect as some may believe.
