My family has been working with the FBI for nearly 28 years in my sister Cathy and her friend Rebecca Dowski's deaths as part of the Colonial Parkway Murders in Virginia. Trust me, laws enforcement will not likely announce the results of any forensics testing to the public, not before all charges have been filed, an arrest made, a trial, and possible conviction. And maybe not even then.

Is it possible to convict for murder in the absence of a body in Virginia?
bbm, I'm not following the logic?
Amy Bradley?
Huh? Longo was perfectly calm and composed tonight. No "theatrics", no gesticulations. Just announced the change to the situation, the charges, apologised that the "wanted" poster had been released momentarily before the presser and answered one question about whether they were still searching for Hannah. I witnessed no "scary endorphine levels" tonight.

To me it sounds like he is in a different phase of the investigation and is not making a direct appeal to the suspect at this time.
Longo has 13 years as chief of police, handling several high profile cases and he is known to be an excellent public speaker. IMO everything this man does is calculated. He's not losing his head here. And while so many seem to believe everything he says is for their benefit, it's not. Some of what he says and does is very likely a specific message to the suspect or witnesses, etc.
I've researched. It seems this is a very intelligent, driven officer. I looked hard to find anything to support what I see is a real negative perception (on the part of some here) of this officer and his methods but I found nothing in his record or any statements by any colleagues or even critics to substantiate the inference that he is a buffoon trying to somehow create a circus for some inexplicable reason or railroad an innocent man or whatever. Nothing.
no, charges against JM have been changed to include abduction with intent to defile
The sketch and mugshot comparison posted earlier show striking similarities.
