I think it would be quite logical that they don't immediately release that information go a thirsty, clamoring public. She was found at 4:30 am. Injured and bound and emotionally distraught. I can't imagine making any damn public statements if my spouse was found like that after disappearing. Not for a long time. Her family likely thought she was dead and were shocked. And then maybe wanted to get her in a secure, aafe
and private location before the media began stalking her
Plus, the police probably wanted to find out what the hell was going on and try to secure the area she was found in as determine whether they could get useable info out of her that could lead to an immediate apprehension, before the and public and media climbed all over everything.
So far though it's unclear whether they got much detail from Sherri at all. Time will tell. But I totally get why they wouldt want to be screaming about her release right away.
