Palo Alto Weekly published an article on September 10, 2021. Crime reporter Sue Dremann held nothing back. She became the Kinyon's greatest advocate to date. Having this article published was important on many levels and achieved a great number of things. Not the least of which was fact-checking what Jon had uncovered in his private investigation. Everything Sue put in her article had to be vetted, checked, and then rechecked by her editor. Dremann verified the authenticity of investigative documents the family had photographed while sorting out the case file back in 2010, comparing the handwriting and signature of the lead detective, which was on the tattered case file cover, with the handwritten investigative notes and witness interviews that were part of the case file. She didn’t just assume they were legitimate.

Since the SFPD never arrested Eugene Imbrogno and the District Attorney never charged him, there were no arrest records and no court records available. Most of the witnesses and other players had died or disappeared long ago, so there was no one to interview. She couldn’t even be sure if Eugene Imbrogno was actually a suspect in the crime. All she had was Jon's word, which wasn’t going to be enough.

Several aspects of the crime, including the timeline, had to be confirmed by Sue with respect to particular documents. Her understanding of everything that had happened and her ability to corroborate each detail took some time. The alleged killer had multiple aliases, complicating matters even more. The detectives also spelled his name differently on different documents. It proved difficult for her to identify witnesses. Their statements required careful review and comparison to corroborate the killer’s whereabouts and timeline in the hours before the homicide; some police interviews were contradictory and had to be reconciled.

Also, she plotted out the locations of each spot where the victim and assailant were supposed to have been at specific times, both before and after the crime, to determine if the locations were plausible in accordance with the timeline and location mentioned in the witness statements. All of which confirmed Jon Kinyon's original findings.
