One thing I thought of that I do not think has been discussed is if a perp gets too nervous or feels they are onto him, not only could Jayme be at risk or he will panic and not lead them to her (if being surveilled) but if he really feels heat or they question him too much, etc., he may retain counsel. We all know that once they are represented, all talk stops. There is then no chance to find her without something like a deal.
I also think they dislike the online gossip about it and feel it does not help most likely, nor does media intrusion but on the flip side what is so hard for the public to understand about their silence is this is not just a murder, it is active with a missing child and you need media and exposure to help find her. I think the silence is intentional and is probably what they would typically do but again, this is a different case. Unless you know she is okay, why would you go silent is what people want to understand, you would do the opposite and keep the name and her face in the news right? I think the Miami tip early on and even the latest supposed pics of her show a side of the internet that they are not keen on probably.
With the Wetterling case, the local agency expresses a lot of regrets and is open about them and advises what they wish had been done differently. The Barron sheriff has mentioned the Wetterling case a couple of times and oddly right in the beginning almost. The cases are not similar in most ways at all so I could not understand why unless he thought almost right away it would not be solved for years. Now I think it is maybe the fact it was a neighboring state and a nationally known case was his reason? If I have it correct, they looked at every scenario, nationally, trafficking, and even looked at psychic tips. Yet all along it was someone close to home. It took years however before that was known. The local agency in Wetterling maybe reached out to tell him what they would do differently?
While nothing should be excluded, on my most logical days (they are not everyday lol), things usually are not as complicated as they seem, meaning it is probably not a meth head turkey driving boat owner with her in canada but more likely someone closer to home as it turned out to be with Wetterling.
I don't know. Those are some of my thoughts. They also do not have cases like this, perhaps they should think about having someone in the dept to just keep this in the news and be seen by the public once in awhile. There is a missing child and a murderer loose so the public does have a reason to want to know at least what can be shared.
I am interested to hear other's thoughts. It is like a switch was flipped a few weeks in, you are right, everyone noticed it. The extra assistance went home and all went silent, it almost seemed like onto a back burner. I doubt it is on a back burner but it is almost like what it seems they want to portray. I have seen people on here though mention other cases they thought were cold and cops were not working on while all along they were working hard behind the scenes and bam, one day an arrest out of the blue. Hopefully that is what will happen here.
My worst fear probably matches that of many--is that they literally, truly have nothing. If that was the case, though, I would be sharing more details because what is there to lose...
Sorry so longwinded of a post...
