...West Palm Beach suggested that Shea was on duty 65 miles away until at least one hour before Mary Meslener left the airport-hardly time enough, as claimed in his confession, for Shea to hitchhike to Miami, visit several downtown bars, ride a bus to the airport, try to steal a car, get caught in the act by Mary Meslener and then murder her. Not only was Shea later unable to point out the parking lot where the original assault took place, but a palm print found in the murder car belonged to neither Shea nor the victim...
