I don't feel LE are 'keeping their cards close' and 'building a case' right now. More power to them if they are...however, I don't think/feel they have too much to build on.
I agree with you. That the public has confidence and places trust in the role of LE is important to police forces everywhere. There job is to catch lying criminals but the public does not expect to get lied to by LE. Trustworthiness is especially important in asking for tips in this case and any case.
Once somebody is charged, evidence will be heard and if LE has been needlessly pleading for tips and raising public concern for the past three months, making it appear they are not close to solving the case, all the while having their eye on a suspect for ages as evidence is accumlating, in my opinion that goes against their integrity.
That why I believe everything they say is truthful and why they ask for "somebody who knows this person" to call it in.
I've never heard of a case where LE would intentionally create fear and unease in the public for no good reason.
