I agree with your points, and LE has been a little contradictory with their public advisements throughout this case (and they haven't even specifically said that much). IMO, their words and actions have not always been congruent, and I think people are picking up on that and it's causing more frustration.
The day they found the girls, they were warning parents to check on their children and to make sure they knew what their children were doing.
Then, the FBI and Homeland Security swarm in and with LE they basically put out an APB and billboards across the country about BG because LE states/insinuate that what happened to the girls was nothing short of heinous and everyone needs to be on high alert because "who's next?" they say...But, then not a lot of public instruction? Or an actual physical description of BG? :scared:
Then, I listened to the interview Slocom gave last week on the radio and he was asked about how parents/kids should manage the upcoming Spring Break, and he said not to go alone or even in pairs, but to be in larger groups...Well, to me that's disconcerting. What does he mean? :gaah:
Personally, I would feel a little rattled, worried, angry, and annoyed if I were a resident of Delphi because a vicious predator (or two, because they won't say that either) brutally murdered two beautiful girls in a semi-popular park/area in broad daylight where kids are reported to congregate and LE has given little information regarding their suspect profile or even a possible motive or theories about why and what happened to A+L-- But LE did state at the onset to watch your kids and now they're saying to travel in groups and to report any stranger or strange vehicle...
...But, LE won't release a sketch, offer an approximate height/weight, discuss any more distinguishing information, or a DNA profile (*if they have one as they did in the Vanessa Marcotte case), or something? --- (And then maybe they should either arrest RL on murder charges or clear the man...) and now they have 'scaled back resources' but are still asking for tips, and warning the public to stay diligent but not providing even daily tweets from the command center...
It's just a little weird to me. Is this community in danger, or not? I think their conflicting information and lack of basic information is hurting the case at this point... And I do say this with the upmost respect. I work with LE, my family is LE, but that doesn't mean they're beyond reproach, or constructive criticism. I know they want to get this guy(s) even worse than any of us do. I know and believe that with all my heart. They want to put this guy away and give the families some sense of peace...
But maybe even a bulletted list of facts about the case and a more accurate physical description of BG, and releasing possible motive(s), or even a few of their theories about what they think happened may help them and the public a lot.
I don't know, but I think they need to say something to the public in regards to this, IMO.
