Cheyne: LC, once Katelyn is found, would LE give out more info on the case, or just name a person of interest/arrest a suspect?
some depts. will give out only the bare facts, an arrest (or not) and whatever is public information. a judge (or the DA may not talk) could impose a gag order on all principals. the ME may or may not release a cause of death, but only a manner of death i.e. homicide, accident, suicide, undetermined.
i think in this case they are saying nothing more until a body is found. or there is a confession. that is in order to not compromise the investigation and taint a possible trial. the less that is out there the better for authorities.
i think that once a body is found the public will only get the minimal facts. much like the Celina Cass case.
