I think the police are playing Mr. Smart like Elizabeth's harp. They said that he gave them that information early on but what if he didn't? Do you see the possibilities here?

What if the police are confirming as prior statements remarks that Mr Smart has recently made? It's a common tactic for sweating out a perpetrator. We could be merely spectators in a battle of press-conferences and timing issues.
