The gag order keeps the cops from talking. It will not prevent the press from leaking info. This might be a way to let the public know without breaking the order to be quiet.
I am sure they want the public to know that they have solved this case if they have and their hands are tied per the court to do so. JMO

If they're taking reporters out to a crime scene, I think the court order is being lifted as we sit here. JMO, of course.
He said he needs to change his clothes so his uniform doesn't get dirty - so I don't think they'll be knocking on the door to a house.
If they went to the effort to get a secrecy order, this has the potential of being something significant.
If the police want the public to know, who asked for the court order sealing it?
Well, that was certainly anti-climatic. Sure hope they find something while they are searching today. That was the strangest press announcement I've ever seen. WVPD is a bunch of Keystone Cops.
There are old mine shafts around Ely.

I hope this is correct. It has been awhile since I really followed this case. However, even as late as this morning, there was discussion that her husband and his dad had asked for the order. I believe it was on the local tv station that interviewed the husband.

I don't think it was for nothing, this has got to be part of the plan. And the officer had to change his clothes? There is way more to this then we know yet.
Still, if there is a gag order, LE taking the media out to spill the beans is not going to go over with any judge, imo. He or she would know this is a huge violation of such an order.
