A reluctance to publicly condemn is not the same thing as proclaiming his innocence, and there are several limiting factors with regard to presenting alternatives to his exclusive guilt. As has been mentioned, the sleuthing guidelines is the biggie right now, but it is understandable why theyre in place, and I like that we are doing our best to be respectful of the TOS.
As we generate ideas and theories, one thing to continue to keep in mind is the overall behavior of LE and clues which can be obtained from an absence of words and behavior, rather than by what is presented.
If they thought this was a random/stranger abduction, how might things be different? What are things that we might see in the media and directly from the police force?
