I've seen this behavior a bunch of times. Law enforcement will publicly claim that an investigation is not criminal, while their actions strongly indicate otherwise.Is it normal to not classify something like this as a criminal investigation, at this late stage in a missing persons case? Genuine question.... Does it only become a criminal investigation if they find direct evidence of a crime? Until then, just stays a missing persons case? When can they admit probability of foul play?
Or does LE have reason to believe this is *not* a criminal case? Because they keep emphasizing it is not a criminal investigation.
Think about this:
A "person of interest," is a phrase used in criminal investigations.
They are using that here, while saying it's not a criminal investigation at this point.
That doesn't work.
