Oh good point

I have been thinking that if the case indeed goes to trial, the defense will at least request a change of venue due to widespread publicity. If they get their way and it ends up coming to my county, I will try to attend as much as I can to show my support of Danielle and her family and friends.
I hope and pray every day that the individual responsible for her disappearance decides to talk, but right now I'm not so hopeful. I continue to post on here and another forum, hoping that the person will see something that moves him to change his mind and do the right thing, but also wonder if he is even capable of feeling compassion, sympathy, remorse, etc.
I keep going back to the Tricia Todd case from last year in trying to figure out what might have happened to Danielle. In Tricia's case, it was learned in the end that the perpetrator was the one who returned victim's car to her residence, leaving all of her belongings in it; like Danielle's case, LE was very tight-lipped throughout the investigation, never even publicly identifying a POI.
In Tricia's case, what took to get the perpetrator to finally confess was LE confronting him with video evidence. In Danielle's case, we know that the SG has retained counsel -as reported via MSM-, so LE is not allowed to speak with him directly, but if I'm not mistaken, I believe they can at least try to communicate with his attorney. I'm not even sure whether it would make legal sense for LE/prosecution to do that, but perhaps they could approach his counsel with what they have once they are ready and if it gets to that point. Of course, if the SG has no knowledge as to Danielle's whereabouts or what might have happened to her, then I hope he lets LE know, so that they don't have to waste their resources on the wrong person, and I am sure evidence -both circumstantial or forensic- will back up his claim.
If anyone is interested, here is an article that does a good job of summarizing how the police were able to get Tricia's killer to confess (I wasn't necessarily happy with the plea deal, but at least Tricia's family got her back ... or rather, what remained of her ... ):
