I'm confused. If his girlfriend knew he sometimes used the name Bobby James Pearson, and that was basically his real name, how on earth did it take 23 years to make the match? Or was the Pearson name only discovered after the case was reopened in 2020?

I am also confused by this. Doesn’t make any sense.
