The rest of the witnesses, based on KSR’s reports, have been mediocre.

The problem with Pitinio is the delay between phone calls and reporting the matter to the FBI. His excuse – I was head deep in the season – does not hold water. What he was doing for those missing days? Was he trying to raise money? Was he pressuring Tim and/or Karen Sypher?

Can you imagine if Pitinio had found a dead body the night before the Big East tourney and the Cards win the tournament? Based on Pitinio’s testimony, he would not report the dead body until early April at the earliest.

A possible crime occurs and Pitinio does not call the FBI or the police. That’s the problem with Pitinio’s behavior.
