The point is that LE has been consistent. Obviously, these investigators (not idiots and not, in my experience, gullible) have done their level best to poke holes in her story. That it still holds up, a year later, after an exhaustive investigation, is significant. Like it or not, it really is. In fact, finding no reason not to believe her, given the nature of this investigation, probably says more about the veracity of Sherri’s story than a simple “we believe her,” because her story has obviously withstood their intense scrutiny.
I don't think this is the case at all. SP's story is not holding up. Here's what's going on, according to this expert interviewed by Newsweek:
Ken Ryan, a law enforcement expert, who worked 25 in the industry and now teaches criminology at California State University, said he was “amazed by the coincidences” and thinks the story is most likely false, but at this point police don’t have enough evidence to completely prove it.
“The thing is that they had to take this story as true and investigate it even though they were misled,” Ryan said. “I think it would be irresponsible to clear your hands of this and say it was a hoax without clearly laying out the details.”
Ryan said one of the biggest issues in this case is the two suspects. He said not only do they not meet the normal profile in a kidnapping and torture case because they are women, but since the suspects were able to get away, a crime like this should have happened again.
“In my 25 years I’ve never seen a case like this where someone was kidnapped, held captive for 20 something days then just released,” he said. “None of it makes sense.”

LE, IMO, is waiting for irrefutable evidence.
