In a rare instance this might be done if they have the person under 24/7 surveillance. However, the inherent risk in this tactic is not only giving a perp a sense of relief, but also giving him a brazen confidence that he can get away with it again.OldCop, in your experience, is this ever done as a strategy? Letting someone have a sigh of relief that no one's on to them while behind the scenes, they're being watched quite intensely?
ETA I think Moscow PD has been very open about this particular group of people because of the out of control rumors floating around town about them. Because emotions are running so high, I think they feared that someone might attempt vigilante justice. So they have checked these folks out and don’t think they’re involved, but they could circle back around to any one of them if their leads are not panning out.
