Absolutely.
“It's been more than two years since Liberty German and Abigail Williams were killed, but investigators continue to hold onto hope, saying they are just "one tip" away from finding their killer.
“If somebody knows something, they need to tell us," ISP Superintendent Doug Carter said. "I think they’re afraid to — it's why we have not heard yet — I think they’re afraid to.”....”
ISP: We're 'one tip away' from solving Delphi murders
What Carter has stated, about somebody being afraid to come forward, I don’t think is helpful at all. It comes across as if he’s pulling a reason from thin air to justify why this case remains unsolved, a shade away from blaming someone unknown.
If he truly felt somebody was afraid to come forward this would’ve been a perfect opportunity for him to mention various reassurances hoping to reduce their fear, ie confidentiality, ask to contact him personally, police would ensure protection, etc.
Considering he already made a dramatic appeal to the suspect, why isn’t he also addressing the unknown and fearful person he thinks has that “one tip”?
I am really tired of hearing LE talk about that”one last tip”. It was the main focus of the PC at the first anniversary, and also the second anniversary, and the centerpiece of every interview, statement and update since then. It does seem like I remember them at the first anniversary PC saying something that hinted at “we can protect you” to whoever might call in a tip. I’ve heard nothing like that since then, which I also think is weird, especially since recently, LE keeps saying people aren’t calling in because they are scared.
I also agree with you about LE flirting with blaming others for the case not being solved. To be clear, the killer is the only one responsible for the girls’ deaths, but LE is the only ones responsible for this not being solved. The second anniversary PC miffed me because it seemed to be nothing but a moment to pat themselves on the back....for what? That was not cool.
