I've noticed from the Haleigh Cummings case, where LE didn't give any info, there was/is no resolution. In the Caylee Anthony case, where it all hung out, they got a body and a perp.
Tell it like it is and let the public in. If you don't, I believe you get cold cases and murderers get away with it.
This would be a good statistical study, does anyone know of one?
LE has given out a bit of info re: HC (Misty related mostly) but in the Mackenzie Cowell case ZIP! IIRC, at first they did just a few pcs only asking if anyone saw anything near where her car was found but strangely not where her body was..That Q to the public just came recently months later..When the local paper published the autopsy report (LE made clear they didn't want out there) LE gave this paper no more info..They practically came out & admitted it.
This is probably the worst case with a 'no info' policy I've seen & there's still no resolution..There's also not nearly the interest in the case..It's almost nil at this point..Unless LE has a perp in mind & is waiting for more evidence (I hope!) I can't believe this is what they really want..How is 'Out of sight, Out of mind' going to help them solve this case & get justice for Mackenzie?
