Yeah, now that you bring it up, it doesn't make any sense.
The way it was presented on the show was that El Cuco didn't know Terry was away.
Nor did Terry show any symptoms of anything being in his head, as far as I remember.
the police mentioned that if it wasn't for the TV video of Terry at the conference his alibi wouldn't have worked as they had so much eye witness and video evidence of Terry being in town at the time of the murder. El Cuco is not built for today's world of technology, getting harder and harder for it.
shareRight. If you take technology out of the equation, it makes more sense to do it at a time when Terry is long gone and around strangers so there isn't corroboration from people he knows in the town and the witnesses that point the finger don't run across the real Terry somewhere else and doubt what they saw.
And still, even today, it's not like we're constantly recorded everywhere in hi-def with audio. It was really just a freak chance that there happened to be a clear recording of Terry asking a question... Something El Cuco may not have encountered before. The surveillance cameras that caught him were uncertain at best.
That and it also seems like the monster might be on a bit of a time crunch, where it only has a certain window to maintain the appearance and feed.
This has nothing to do with the OP's question, though.
Claude said that El Cuco had direct access to everything in his head, whatever he knew - El Cuco knew.
There were two other people with him at the convention. That fact seemed to have gotten lost.
Also, a good defender would make a lot out of the fact that eyewitness testimony is unreliable in a lot of cases.

It's a reasonable question. It's like they got to the end of the story and to wind it up they threw in that El Cuco could see through the eyes of his doppelgänger. It was truly ridiculous.
