With this recent release of videos and news stories I notice that actual quotes from LE tend to stay right on message - message being that TH lied and that LE doesn't like being lied to. Undersheriff Rick Scott is doing a great job with that.
Also that it can be so easy to be confused by the various versions, since it is confusing, we aren't going to have all the info. One bit that tripped me up for example is the following, and now I keep it in mind:

So that quote is from the reporter, in this case KOMO staff, about what they say TH says. That last part is important: KOMO is reporting that TH says Chief Crumb doesn't remember.
So far I've not seen an actual quote from Chief Crumb on this.
Looks to me like the main message from LE is: we are actively on the case, TH lied, we don't like being lied to, we take this very very seriously.

He says Chief George Crumb of the McCleary Police Department then asked him to join in the search, which he did. But Chief Crumb now says he doesn't remember asking him to take part, Hartman says.
