What's the rush? He's not a serial killer; he's not going to kill anyone else. (Eventually maybe the next wife, but that's a ways off.) There's a big danger in arresting the guy too soon, but very little in waiting. (Only the torment to the family, and that some evidence will disappear/degrade.)
LE wants to make sure their case is air-tight. Most likely they want to find VS, which would be ideal. I suspect they'd go ahead without a body, but the evidence base would have to be SO much stronger in that situation.
Just that most here seem to think it's a slam-dunk. So arrest him, bring charges already.
But I agree with you. No point in the police moving too fast.
