but satisfying our curiosity is not important. LE knows whether they have confirmation of that or not. that's what matters.I’m not asking them to release evidence for optics. I’m pointing out that if her physical arrival home hasn’t been confirmed publicly, that’s a critical piece of information.
and they have reasons to be careful what they release. one of them is to be able to catch someone and/or prove their guilt because they knew something only the perp would. that doesn't work if you've made everything you know public. and if you don't yet have a good idea who your perp is, you don't know what pieces of information are going to be useful in that way. so LE tends to keep their cards close to their vest, i would think.
