Yes I agree the police did appear nervous during the public media release, could we say that it appeared very unscripted. Their line of work is not for a television show, nor based on how few public media releases for murder investigations that I have seen here on the big island in the last 30 years should they be expected to have this level of perfection regarding a 15 minute fact disclosure to such an easily incitable public. The qualities that make for a skilled investigator and detective may not necessarily be the same as those of a professional public speaker. I would suspect that they were probably erring on the side of respect for the family of Boaz Johnson, that they not learn of the fate of their son though the media first with sensitive details and sensitivity also to the presence of Brittany's father and grandfather of her moms side. As they mentioned that the still open investigation comes to a close as the follow up details to this murder investigation for Brittany, one of those would be a separate suicide case deposition to the Johnson family of information and details gathered about their sons death in a closed session meeting for the benefit of the families privacy be upheld and then coordinating the eventual release and transfer of his remains to his family. The fact that they gave a public media release is very positive, it was not required, as is the case in many cases that are not followed so widely by the media.
