There is precedent for the public/community via the ms media being left in the dark during prolific serial killer investigations:
In a prior comment I had stated that IMO JDW's past and behavioral profile would mirror that of Gary Leon Ridgeway; Green river serial killer. Imo there are to many parallels between JDW and GLR to ignore.
Don't believe I'll ever forget the heart wrenching comment made by a Mother of one of Gary Ridgeway's innocent victims, "I have a hole in my heart that only my precious child could fill"..

On June 13, 2003, the prosecutors and the defense team entered into an agreement: the State would not seek the Death Penalty, but Gary Leon Ridgeway, would have to plead guilty to aggravated murder in the 1st degree for all the homicides that he had committed in Kings Co., Washington. The plea agreement was not revealed to the public or the innocent victims’ families. It was June 2003 when the rumors began: Where was serial killer Gary Ridgeway?
It was certain that he was not in the King County Jail, but any info on his whereabouts had been ‘Sealed by a Judge’….
Green River Task Force members and SAR teams were spotted in areas where victim’s remains were previously located. Questions were asked, were prosecutors seeking evidence overlooked or or had they struck up some kind of plea deal with the defense team; ‘ Sparing Gary Ridgeway’s life, in exchange for the identity and location of his many unknown victims from Kings County, Seattle Washington? The task force personnel wore civilian clothes to remain hidden from the media and behind the dark tinted glass of the unmarked cars was GLR, wearing leg irons and handcuffs. Rumors were rampant. l. It was reported that he was being kept secured under armed guard in a posh apartment. The public was outraged that he was being held in luxury after the body count that he had amassed.
The GR task force PIO , under this pressure announced that a private cell had been constructed in the Task Force Headquarters and GLR was living among the investigators. It was the last place anyone thought to look… There had been no precedent for this strategy.. In order to get in to the head of Ridgeway, although it meant spending so much time with an evil cold blooded killer. It was necessary to bridge the wall, erected by his team of Attorneys and seek the truth of his terror trail. GLR had a captive audience and relished the attention paid to him as did Ted Bundy and other prolific serial killers past.
GLR would now have the opportunity to gloat over the details of his ghastly deeds.. He made himself available as a subject that was quite willing to participate in marathon interrogations. He found pleasure in demonstrating his expertise in the art of of torturous murder, to his ideal audience; the same detectives that he had taunted, remaining oblivious too, for decades.
GLR loved being the focus of their attention. For the interrogators, it was exhausting, disgusting, shocking, traumatic ,frustrating, and very horrific work. The experience would have been and unsettling and traumatic experience for anyone, hundreds of hours of grotesque recollections from a man that apeared totally harmless as he calmly described, raping, torturing, mutilating, and killing dozens of innocent young women in a halting and dispassionate voice. GLR stated, “all I wanted to do was have sex with them and kill them.”
When Ridgeway accompanied them on ‘Field Trips’ to the undiscovered body dumps, he brightened, smiling in anticipation, as they got closer to his killing fields and trophy areas… The Task Force Team was elated and relieved when Psychiatrists and other FBI BAU Agents flew in to interview Ridgeway. It gave them a much needed break from their journey into the abyss; the darkness.. Although Ridgeway had maps and a sharp recall of the areas where the bodies were dumped, he could not remember his victims faces or names.
When referring to his innocent victims remains, he would say, “I dumped ‘it’ in that location”, meaning that they were objects subject to disposal… GLR, had let some of his intended victims, go free. He would say. “your to cute for a guy like me”. He later admitted that he let them go for future witnesses, in case he should ever need them to verify that he was a good guy and couldn’t possibly be the Green River Serial Killer.
After being asked to elaborate on his abnormal sexual desires during childhood, he admitted to frotteurism , exposing himself, stalking, voyeurism, rape, murder for sexual release, and finally necrophillia.
. On occasion GLR's son would accompany him and witness his kills. When asked by the detective if his son remembered and threatened to tell, if he would have killed him? GLR responded, “No….I might have”…. When asked how he felt when his first victim’s remains were found. GLR said that he felt that they were taking something that belonged to him.
GLR, feeling invincible, continued his research to perfect his crimes. He not only took great pains to remove all forensic traces of himself from the victims, his house and truck, and went as far as planting evidence; cigarette butts & chewed gum of others, that he found at the airport, to confuse investigators into believing that the unsub was a traveler. False tips were sent to the media..
GLR, insured his Stealth by not sharing his evil deeds with friends. He had no friends or confidants. He was gratified to revisite his crime scenes and was fascinated to find some of the victims skeletons intact years later, in areas where he had expected animals to dismantle them. Yet others that were left exposed in open fields that had vanished without a trace…
GR’s IQ tested in the low/normal range. It was suspected that he may have been idiot savant: although of low intelligence, being brilliant in one area(mathmatical aptitude, musical prodigy, etc.)
GLR, began his Evil Trail of Terror, as a teenager, when he tricked a 6 year old boy to go into the woods with him to build a fort. Once in the woods, GLR stabbed the little boy. The little boy survived the stabbing and was located by investigators. The day of the incident, the little boy asked GLR why he killed him? GLR, smiling and laughing responded, “I always wanted to know what it felt like to kill somebody, GLR, then started walking down the knoll. laughing, putting his head in the air and laughing real loud”…
