Waiting in a small patch of woods for two days
VS.
Being held hostage, tortured, and framed.
Either is possible. If police would have actually given an appropriate response to a few of the questions, these answers wouldn't linger. The few reporters that were there did not pounce on the right questions at the right times. They should have questioned why authorities can't recall if the bottle of liquor was full or empty, or rather it was fingerprinted or tested for DNA. I felt like reporters should have also asked about why bloodstains were found in a neat crime scene, who those bloodstains belonged to. Quite frankly blood isn't an indication of mere strangulation. Finally, it was a bit appalling that when asked about forensic details involving the hanging, reporters just let the spokesman get away with "from a tree" as an actual answer.
Perhaps journalists were so shocked by the huge influx of unreleased information that they couldn't adequately analyze the answers quick enough. All in all, HPD put on a pretty disappointing news conference, and journalists missed key opportunities to ask pertinent questions. I hope reporters get another chance, but I have serious doubts that they will.
