They said they needed tips 5 weeks later and created a poorly constructed web site to gather them. Who knows what they were fishing for at that point, and whether something about the investigation made it a good idea to ask at that point. A knee jerk reaction to criticize LE in the midst of what is seemingly a fairly successful investigation is unwarranted. I know all the sleuthers want to be part of the outcome and kind of resent it when LE is reserved about information and solves the case themselves, but it's not wrong if they get the right outcome.They also needed the publics help or they would not of put out 5 areas of focus and asked for tips 3 weeks later about it.
