I agree but this case has what I'd call special circumstances which might mitigate their public responses for a short period of time. With both her parents so recently deceased, it could change their response, especially if the girl said something like " I don't want you to talk about this to the country right now".I don't think it's #2. I've never heard about it happening in a case before. LE would want everyone to know that she has at least been found.
HIPAA laws may also make it harder for them to respond about a minor child when both parents are deceased in the crime.
