Just my opinions here - take them as you wish.
LEO's are NOT going to blast their every thought and movement to the media. If "Joe Murderer" is watching the news and sees that he's a suspect, do you really think Joe Murderer is going to pop a beer and wait patiently on the couch for LE to come pick him up? Not likely. So they tend to keep their suspects and theories a secret until they have enough probable cause to go get them as to not spook them into taking off before they can pick them up.
Same with theories and evidence. Of course they're not going to tell us how they got to the RV park. Well, not right away anyway. If for example, they got a search warrant for CM's phone records and they show pings from the RV park, and they blast that over the news, what do you think CM is going to do? He's going to run. And just for the record, I have NO idea how they got to the RV site - just giving an uneducated guess - or possibility rather.
It sounds like you all think LE are inept and incompetent, but I have all the faith in the world they've been trained and are handling the case as best they can with all of the unknowns.
My last thought is, has anyone else besides CM confirmed that TB was actually at that party until 3:40? My spidey senses are tingling - I just don't believe he ever made it. I think something happened to him before the 1:23 tweet. And I think there's a strong possibility that the person who sent the tweet at 1:23 might not have even JW? Has JW admitted to sending the tweet?
I'll be curious to find out what the TB's TOD was. How long had he been in the RV park?
So many questions still....
(BBM). Well, let's see what you've got here...
1). When the police ask for the public's help in finding a person, body, phone, shoe, then the public also wants answers to help them find these items. Involvement causes people to question. But thank you for clarifying the whole, "Joe Murderer" scenario.
2). They might tell us if it helps find the shoe or the phone or the person who did this. It's all up to them and depends not only on the case but what the district/ county attorney thinks is ok.
3). Having all the 'Faith in the world' in any authority figure is a very precarious way to live and not one I would relish. The police are human and as such make a lot of mistakes.
4). Questioning authority, questioning how a young kid in the start of his life ended up dead in a small midwestern town after partying with 'friends', questioning who, what, when or why and OFFERING suggestions on a sleuthing website, is what American soldiers have fought and died for. It's my civil duty and my Constitutional right to question, wonder, and otherwise keep an eye on my surroundings. <modsnip>
5). For someone who has a 'World of faith' in local law enforcement and 'spidey senses', you don't think LE checked to verify who else may have witnessed this young man coming or going to that house? I would think that would be 'Investigation 101'.
6). I don't think that LE is going to announce the time of death, what with "Joe Murderer" still out there.
