Is the goal to find her? If so, why be so mysterious and vague?

I'll offer my two cents:
LE might employ tactics based on behind-the-scenes information that is not released to the public. Those tactics might include releasing so-called "information" and not releasing accurate *information* which might not make sense nor seem applicable to the situation. I can not speak to whether or not such tactics are effective and to what degrees but we must assume there's a method to the madness and their goal should be our goal. Play along.
On the other hand, it is logical to assume in some cases certain tactics might hinder an investigation. For instance, when it was announced DCNR rangers and LE were temporarily closing Tyler State Park during initial searches I believe that sent a message to the public that LE expected to *recover* LP's body within the park, which could have led the public to conclude there was no need to keep an eye out on the streets. Not that closing the park was a "tactic" as much as it may have been necessary for various reasons (eliminate public interference with scent tracking and potential discovery of evidence, public safety, etc.) but I believe it diminished any sense of urgency that may have been necessary to motivate the public. Time lost and who knows what else.
Regarding the "location of LP's cell phone": I commented in a previous post that I believe there are reasons. We all know LE keeps certain information close to the vest in order to use that information later in the investigation should it become necessary to verify a claim or to use as grounds for questioning someone who seems to know information that wasn't released to the public. As much as information is and is not released to the public audience and, that audience includes potential POIs and suspects and even the "missing" person. Keeping POIs or suspects or even the "missing" person 'in the dark' as to what LE might or might not know could be more important than informing the public.
