Easton Mall & Hilton are likely encouraging LE to be low key in there searches and publicity of the case. Easton is the closest mall accessible to urban crime ridden areas and has a problems with fighting and violence at the mall(primarily by the teens). It has all been dealt with on the down low (plain clothed officers and "regular" mall security )so the regular customers will not become alarmed by the crime. I'm not surprised by LE remaining low key. Also with the Amber Evans case at the same time the police faced a lot of attention and public scrutiny they likely were happy for this one to escape much notice.
