I think Bats and I were both referring to the phone as a tactic. Bats saying the phone was no tactic and me saying it was a tactic.
And speaking for Bats once again which I shouldn't do of course, I'd say Bats would agree with you that no sting operation has been visible because as you say they are kept undercover. In fact stings I'm sure are very dangerous. You are dealing with a person known to commit a crime and police basically use it to gain a confession. They are not out to entice someone into committing a crime which they wouldn't normally do.
In Samantha's case I believe there may will be a sting operation in effect. Someone referred in an earlier post that police has said on at least two occasions the accused acted alone. It may only me be thinking that is not the case and the police are using tactics like finding the phone and perhaps a possible sting going on to entice someone out into the open. I believe offering a reward is also a good way of doing that - it entices someone out in the open by them getting dobbed in.
If the accused is responsible for Samantha's death, then at this stage he is the only person who knows if someone else was involved or not and I would hope he told police everything he knows in his statement, interviews and trips to the search area.
I know I wouldn't be going to jail for an extra 10 years just to hide the fact I had an accomplice. Why would anyone do that?
