Preferably, they called Le and said I saw A guy - and then described him without having seen the image released by LE to the media. It may have been better imo if LE had asked for anyone who had been at the trails that day to contact them and get their info BEFORE releasing the photo of Bg just to help ensure they weren’t unintentionally influenced by it. Of course they may not have done things this way as they maybe hoped someone would see the photo and name the suspect. Hard for LE to know which way to go in the chaotic first days of a murder investigation sometimes no doubt. Moooooo
It’s normal practise for police to release a photo or at least a description, asking anyone to come forward with information. I’m not clear on what you refer to as ‘unintentionally influenced’ or why that’s a problem. Releasing information about the suspect, asking for sightings or identification is an intentional influence IMO. There’s no reason for LE to keep what they know about the physical appearance of a double child murderer a secret. Their primary objective is to make an arrest and get him off the streets.
