I tried your suggestion(Carl Wiedemann carl.wiedemann@gmail.com) and have a very interesting update to the issue.
I deleted all of the aliases through the Drupal interface at Site building > User aliases > Delete all aliases. One at a time I started the rebuilding process, I have Automatic alias in the URL Path settings section of Edit unchecked, so I was able to create the aliases I wanted for each page.
The same problem is occurring with one interesting twist. First of all, when selecting the Home tab on the Primary menu - you are directed to the Home (node/33) page but the Criminal/Traffic <node/81) page is highlighted. When I select a section below the Home page, no tabs are highlighted.
So in one way I am back at square one.
Is there something missing in this section of css that controls this functionality? The two sections with #primary-menu ul.menu li.active- are the ones that shut off the functionality of highlighting completely.
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active,
#primary-menu ul.menu li:hover,
#primary-menu ul.menu li.hover,
#primary-menu ul.menu li:focus,
#primary-menu ul.menu li.hover {
background: #ad462b;
}
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active a,
#primary-menu ul.menu li:hover a,
#primary-menu ul.menu li.hover a,
#primary-menu ul.menu li:focus a,
#primary-menu ul.menu li.hover a {
background: #ad462b;
color: #fff;
}
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail {
background: #ad462b;
color: #fff;
}
#primary-menu ul.menu li.active-trail a {
background: #ad462b;
color: #fff;
}
Thank you for all the help so far.

Thanks Carl. That finally did cleared the problem I was having and I appreciate your patience and support.
This has been a good learning experience for me. I was able, after you said that it was a PHP issue, to run a search in the entire project and find "active_links" in the menu module and see where it gets set initially.
The other thing I did as to look into the database table and I am really unable to understand the amount of entries there. When I finished adding my menu items the table is up to edit "12634". I set those Primary Links about one year ago and have only occasionally made adjustments, such as changing weights or adding a new menu item. Why would my edits be so high? To me that is astronomical.
The problem isn't a CSS issue. The class "active-trail" is being added to an item that isn't part of the active trail. PHP is doing this, not CSS.
This is somewhat speculative, but I would guess there is some stale information in the menu_links database table, which wouldn't be affected by deleting aliases. In addition to deleting all the aliases, you might delete all the menu items in Primary Links, clear the cache, and recreate the items in the Primary Links menu again.
