For those who have followed cases like this for a while, I wonder how common it is for the perp to be one of the most vocal in expressing their sadness, or most involved in the search (really making themselves known, kind of thing)?
I would think that would be one of the trickiest parts about this case. Interpreting who is upset about the little girls death, and who is upset because they are worried that they are going to get caught before long.
I can see a teenage girl completely "falling apart" over the death of her little friend (or so it appears), and almost having a nervous breakdown over the police presence and the ongoing searches.
The same would apply for a male, but the nervous aspect of it might be contained a little better. I would think a male would interject himself into the scene a little bit more and boast and brag about what he would like to do to the person responsible. That kind of bravado would basically be to deflect suspicion.
My biggest concern would be that due to all the chaos and police presence, that some of these kids may have been sent to relatives homes, school mates homes, or friends of the family so they aren't being subjected to and "traumatized" by the events. This of course would also mean that they avoided giving a DNA sample either voluntarily or at the urging of their parents.
It makes sense to me that anyone who was adamant about being sent away because they are just "so upset" about everything, needs to be examined a little closer. This could stem all the back to last Monday morning and anytime in between. I don't think they were going around swabbing the locals until the towards the end of the week, basically after she was found.
I would think the person that did this would go out of their way to avoid giving a DNA sample to the cops, under the guise of either real or imagined grief.
