Hey there speedy writer person; can you break down the letter to Rhonda into little slivers as if dissected (I guess that would be dissecting,, d'oh). anyhoo,, there are pieces of the letter that are less than vague and very pointed imo. there are some sentences that are interesting, and I'm not talking police lingo-form-letter, as you mentioned,, it has an ominous tone.
what was the misleading info? and whom provided it?
I had to retype the portions of the letter that I thought I could add my opinion as to the meaning, so please excuse any errors.
First three paragraphs are pretty standard, non-remarkable sentences, as is the last one. Here are the portions that I find relevant:
The investigation into the disappearance of Jessica Rae Newman was taken over by the Major Crimes Section of the Calgary Police Department on March 31st, 2015. This section has extensive experience dealing with missing person's investigations and our inquiries to date have produced very valuable information.
The Missing Persons Unit is understaffed and swamped. They usually handle cases that are non-suspicious and fairly routine. When a case is handed over to Major Crimes, it is usually because it is more complex and there is evidence that it is criminal in nature. They have more resources and manpower to devote to cases that suggest foul play is involved. They do not handle the one's where Grandma got lost coming home from the Alzheimer clinic. IMHO, I suspect that they have solid evidence that foul play is involved and the people responsible have criminal records.
Since Jessica was reported missing, the Major Crimes Section has gathered a great deal of information about Jessica, her friends, her life, her whereabouts before she vanished and possible reasons for her disappearance.
They have done the leg-work on her background and feel that it is uncharacteristic of her to voluntarily take off. They have also interviewed the usual suspects like family, ex boyfriend's, the roommate and other people that are classic for these types of cases. They have also developed a working theory on why she is missing and who is responsible.
If you are a person reading this that is involved, or has knowledge of Jessica's whereabouts, I want to personally extend this thought to you; "Jessica's case is not going away." Many people have made the mistake of believing they can mislead Investigators and escape responsibility. My best advice to you is do what is right and contact Police. There are always two sides to every story and our goal is to find out the truth and provide answers to Jessica's family.
IMHO, they are saying - We know who you are, we know you have lied to us, and we are going to catch you. We also know that there are people that know facts about this case that are not directly involved, that are not being truthful or coming forward. There are also people that are worried that they will be unfairly charged, and we assure you that we will keep an open mind and support you.

Of course, that is just what *I* think they are saying. Police Officer's have a language all their own, and being around it my whole life helps with the translation. However, they are also a crafty bunch that sometimes use deception and double-talk to trap a suspect, so if that is the case, it would be next to impossible to try and discern what they are actually saying without knowing their plan.
