As for the Canadian and American news, there have been some much higher-profile cases dominating the crime news, for instance Jodi Arias, TJ Lane, and Luka Magnotta. So that probably plays some role in the media's lack of intensity over EL's case. But also, this has never even been confirmed as a murder case (not even close, really). And even if it was, there is so little info to go on that they pretty much exhausted that after the first few weeks.
No one finds it odd that there are three nations involved here that essentially ceased reporting at the same time? Mainly within one day of when the autopsy results were reported as inconclusive on February 20th; all reporting abruptly ends even to the point that LAPD media is ordered to cancel an interview last minute. If this was a cover up wouldn't this behavior make the LAPD look even more suspicious? Oh, or maybe this is just because there was no other evidence to share? Why, then would the LAPD care about the interview one way or the other; why the rush to cancel? This is not a local CBC outpost, but Canadian national news. The RCMP, who I imagine are very much in the loop with the investigation, have not released any information at all?
The Chinese media are continuing to probe even if only to find out more on when the toxicology report can be expected. Not one of them mentions ghosts or possession, they all say unequivocally "murder". Some are rehashing the zombie game and Morbid crush angle, but for the most part they seem earnest and legit. This is how we learned of a delay in the toxicology results. It has been confirmed by the LA Times that results are expected in mid May. If you recall, the Chinese reporters were the only ones early on to pursue asking questions of and share their Q&A with Andrew Smith of LAPD's media department. Not one piece of info that I have seen refers to the paranormal.
I do not follow how less interest in EL's case, or lack evidence, or no new information explains the highly coincidentally timed disappearance of media coverage. This is saying that both Canada and China are more interested in apprehended suspects like Arias or Magnotta so reporting in three nations went dormant on February 20th? Then remain entirely incommunicado thereafter...? The news of EL even brought a group of Wall Street investors to a standstill in an online forum. There is no shortage of interest.
In saying that the police simply have no new information to share, we are making the assumptions that they shared every bit of evidence in the first place, and that they will release whatever they may have found while waiting on a toxicology report. This too explains why media coverage stopped within one day of the autopsy results? How, may I ask? I just don't see a cause effect thing going on.
