If , a big if, LE clearly knows CT and AT are innocent but they are using them as a decoy as they continue investigating.....is that the norm? LE throws us a wayward hint (AT/CT) and everyone assumes the jealousy route. Then when LE makes their surprise arrest, make statements that they never mentioned AT/CT and everyone just made the incorrect assumption.
I guess if LE is hearing/seeing many of the CT/AT assumptions it isn't LE's responsibility to stop the assumptions with some public statement like "CT/AT cleared w no involvement" or something along those lines. I guess LE has to do what they have to do to get their (wo)man. If this is the case, it could put a shadow on them (AT/CT) for years and ruin their relationships and harm their long term income. I think LE has the general public just where they want/need us believing just what they want/need us to believe.
Maybe the LE non-deflection is one of our clue's.
