I need to phrase my statement more carefully.
What I meant by "LE's silence caught him" was that their silence about telling things to the public after getting the tip caught him.
We both saw people here clamoring for LE's head because they were being quiet. They demanded to be fed and banged their forks and knives on the table.
That LE silence, that so upset some posters here, IS what caught him.
Would it have caught him to broadcast on the TV beforehand that LE was looking hard at Brandon Scott Lavergne?
Just like now.... people are insisting that all the details be released and published here - jury pool be damned.
Their silence now can help protect against unnecessary tainting.
That's what I meant. Obviously, I know it is a fact that a woman called in a tip that resulted in his arrest.
i just want to make it clear, that since this is the first missing case that i've followed very closely, i was upset with LE for being so silent in the weeks before the arrest. but it wasn't so much that i wanted to know details or information, i just wanted them to come forward and say we are still working on the case there is nothing new to report. i felt the need to be reassured. i also wanted this so that the media could put her face on the news again. it would have given them something "new" to report - they were all refusing to do a subsequent story on her since there was nothing "new"
HOWEVER, now that i know that they were onto him at that time, I guess coming out and saying "we are still hard at work, but there is nothing new" would have been a lie. maybe they could have come out and said only "we are still hard at work"
either way, I know now that if things go silent in that eery way in a missing case, then they are most likely onto someone
i couldn't help but feel hopeless at that time of silence being that i wasn't familiar with this "silence is good" scenario
