Being a VD spokesperson is a strange title.....

DW was not contacted until 8:50 a.m. well over an hour after returning home. If he had been a "prime" suspect since a 4 a.m. debriefing, why was there no one waiting for him at his home, his place of business or at the rv storage site?

Not in a rush to locate him, IMO. That is done with an APB. If DW was a hot tip, or the parents had strongly hinted at, much less blatantly pointed a finger at him, there would have been an APB, possibly a federal one. If you have a strong suspicion of a traveling MH with a possible kidnap victim, that might possibly cross state lines, you put out an APB. Not wait for them to return home after disposing of the victim.

The theory that DW was a prime suspect or fingered before the first interview does not fit, not in LE procedures, or LE behavior. Look how aggressive they got after first contact, when their suspicions were aroused. If their suspicions were aroused prior to that interview either from tipline info, or parental statements, where was that aggression then?
