Thanks! As an aside, it helped maybe that my friend was about 30 when she willingly entered. Recovery is lifelong - I've numerous friends who swear by AA + attend meetings regularly. It's encouraging!
Sorry to be a bit off-topic there! Back to Jessica:
I think even if LE has a fairly good idea of who did this, if they have any good help + know what they're doing, they're going to be very, very careful in their approach. And they would be wise to. If even a fraction of any of the rampant rumors are true, who knows what other criminal activity could be uncovered in the process of this investigation.
From ABC News:
"Police are still digging through her phone records and witness statements, Panola County Assistant District Attorney Jay Hale told WAPT.
"We're still looking into certain individuals," Hale told the station. "We've talked to numerous individuals who could potentially become suspects."

Remember Skylar Neese's case? If not - a simple search will show you details, but LE had their eyes on some of her friends for considerable time before they set things up just so to have an airtight case.
If the point is Justice for Jessica, better to have a bit more time + get it right.
Remember Holly Bobo's case? The TBI/FBI/BAU2/BATF/US Marshalls/Homeland Security, etc., focused on many POIs & Suspects, yet didn't have a clue for over three years due to perceived hypothesis and ignoring the tragic consequences to families and communities due to the out of control meth epidemic, imo..
