Thanks for your opinion, I wish to try and place it in the context of the Sheriffs' Office recent statement.
Re Mercury News journalist Joe Rodriguez:
Detectives on the case are quietly putting the scattered pieces of evidence together like a problematic jigsaw puzzle, revealing little except to the girl's family.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said that's simply how it does business. The agency does not provide details as they come up because detectives aren't sure how important each detail is, where it might lead them or what might happen, says department spokesman Sgt. Jose Cardoza. There's no telling what Sierra's kidnappers, if there are any, or reluctant witnesses might do if they knew how close investigators were getting.
"It could be any number of things," Cardoza says. "It could affect future searches and interviews."

In MO it seemed to be pointing out that they are using the leads that will help show the kidnappers (if there are any) and the
reluctant witnesses that they are close on their tail.
