Taking the case of Joanna Yeates, the timeline went:
17th Dec : JY last seen
25th Dec : body found in Longwood Lane
28th Dec : police announce JY strangled & now murder enquiry
20th January : Tabak arrested & charged
31st Jan : body released to family after 2nd PM
Basically it took 3 weeks between the body being found and an arrest. Bear in mind that it only took 8 days rather than 7 weeks to find her body and that it hadn’t been immersed in water so that a cause of death could be more easily established and DNA evidence which linked Tabak to her found.
I agree though tabak wasn't a suspect pretty much from the word go as PR has been..they have had weeks to work on him
She was frozen which caused slight delays and problems with the PM though obviously not as problematic as in this case
