Being interested in additional evidence does not make one a truther. I'm stunned some of you can't separate one from the other.

That's what a "truther" means; current evidence doesn't give "the truth" so additional evidence (that supports the desired different conclusion, or "the truth" in the view of many seeking the additional evidence) is desired.
It's the behaviour that defines the term, not a specific belief. Because there is no common belief as to what happened among truthers. There are as many ideas as there are individuals it seems, and trying to get a truther to actually say what they think happened can be like pulling teeth sometimes... "I don't know what happened, I'm just asking these questions..."
That's one of the core behaviours; to find unanswered questions and use their own incredulity and the incredulity of others to support a disbelief, not to come to a conclusion based on evidence and form a belief from that.
