I can find zero evidence in all these archives that Alex had anything to do with John Villa Real's case. By 2006, when this all went down, Alex was well past his public access days. And based on the information that's available about that time in his life, it seems like someone would have talked about it by now. Like all the people who were working at the station, who have come out and talked about how big a piece of shit Alex was, all that. Someone would have mentioned that he was involved in cracking the case open by barging into a meeting and bluffing everybody with accusations of malfeasance.
