They don't even have DNA (and other test) results yet - exactly how should they solve this without all the information to identify and convict the killer? I guess maybe they could start arresting people "just in case" and sort out the guilty ones at some future date? Oh and in the meantime, release ALL of the information to the public even if it compromises the case - because a few people online NEED that information so they have something to discuss on their sleuthing forum.
It took 2 YEARS to catch Coralrose's killer (by DNA) and it was a "Local Stranger" who left her sexually assaulted body lying on a construction site near her home.

Sometimes cases don't get solved in the 1st week, the 1st month or even the 1st year, and yet they still manage to keep the case alive and find these killers. 2 months is NOT a long time after a murder like this one - like I said, I would expect it will be another month before LE even has a full set of evidence (and analysis) to work with. It takes time. I am not so sure LE doesn't already have a pretty good idea of WHO and may be waiting on DNA or other evidence in process to make the case solid.
Regardless, this is NOT even CLOSE to a cold case - most cases go at least a year before they are defined as "cold" and while we are all anxious and want an arrest yesterday, the reality is that this was NOT a simple case and even tho it SEEMS like an eternity - it has just now been 2 months since it happened. Even RUSH DNA takes 8 weeks or more under the best circumstances - in THIS case it may have taken a long time to find and then extract any usable DNA. And again, while we (the public) would also like LE to tell us every single detail of every crime, they have their reasons for not putting all the info out into the public - since they are the experts (and OSBI is VERY well regarded, BTW) we must be content knowing that they are working on this case - in fact a whole "squad" is working on this case all day every day - supplemented by local LE and OHP. Just because we are upset about not being "in the loop" is no reason to badmouth the very people who are working for justice for Taylor and Skyla and who are far from giving up or filing the case away in a drawer.
We want instant results and wouldn't it be awesome if every case could be solved within hours or days? The reality is that real cases often take real time and thousands of hours of investigation and evidence gathering, testing and analysis before they are solved. As in Coralrose's case, sometimes the answers just take a while to make themselves known. People are still trying to solve JonBenet's murder and she would have turned 18 this month - - -
