i don't know much about the police, but i have watched a bunch of police tv shows. sometimes the police say they are doing one thing, but are really doing another - not necessarily to deceive the public, but to deceive the suspect. they may know exactly who did it, but they need evidence, and if they don't have it, they may need to bait the suspect by using false leads.
