This statement implies that there was something unusual or suspicious about this crime, but it's not clear what specific information he has to support this claim. The third fallacy is an example of dichotomous depiction when the sheriff describes De Aguasvivas and her husband as having no criminal history in the United States which implies that they are innocent, but at the same time, it's not clear what specific information he has to support this claim.
