Yeah, it's a little confusing to me too. It's possible that LE is being honest and intentionally vague at the same time.
If, for example, LE found something belonging to Morgan Harrington in the search of Matthew's apartment, they've already got a link between Matthew and Morgan's case. But, if they haven't yet gotten formal results matching Matthew's DNA to the DNA retrieved from Morgan or her discarded Pantera t-shirt, LE doesn't yet have substantiated evidence that he was in direct physical contact with her. That's just an example; there could be a number of ways that LE has linked Matthew to Morgan (surveillance at the Metallica concert, familiarity with the farm where she was dumped, chat records, etc..).
This is potentially a huge development in not only the disappearance of Hannah Graham, but also an unsolved brutal rape and a high-profile rape/murder (and possibly other rapes and/or murders). I think LE wants to make sure they've got everything just right before they show their full hand and file additional charges. Matthew isn't going anywhere in the meantime.
