Actually, this dad has not said anything that would advance the investigation, quite the opposite. Why does the public need to know the two girls were sleeping in the same bedroom, or the perp came in through the sliding glass door, or certain people have been cleared, different manners of death, and now a tip on something mail related. These seem to be really important INTERNAL investigation details.
If it were my child I would tell the media, “Anything I say might compromise the investigation. Go away and do not come back.”
I agree. Releasing the type of information can only aid the suspect(s). And the store owner releasing the information on the type of weapon used. Just crazy. Any information that is known only to the suspect(s) should never be released. I think that in our day of “instant” news, the media and the public just believe they have a right to know everything. And with the proliferation of “true crime” podcasts, it is only getting worse. I am involved in a case here in Oklahoma that has been ongoing for over 9 years. There was an episode on it in 2018 on “Up and Vanished” and now there is a podcast that is in about its 30th week. Sad thing is...everything that the TV show and the podcast have been spewing is wrong. Wrong suspects, wrong evidentiary information, wrong on every count except that two people are missing and presumed dead. Other than that, their narratives are wrong. Suspects are wrong. And if it can be solved, (close actually) all the false information and evidence and suspects they have thrown out will be used in the defense of the case. It’s a travesty. In truth, it’s obstruction of justice what those folks are doing.
