Honestly I am fairly certain evidence will show that LE wanted that brief clip out to rattle LS. If RD did it on his own I believe more film would be available. LE knows how to play media games to assist investigators
Yes, and I think they were aware, early on, that rattling her cage (while firmly declaring this was NOT foul play, NOT a criminal investigation) was going to make her fuses start to smoke, while she gave information - not just to MSM or on audio (of which I bet there's quite a bit more), but also to numerous FB groups, via various messaging platforms to various family members, total strangers, reporters, and, likely, almost anyone who would listen. Each time LE rattled her cage, she went public in some form and gave them more, all of which is still fueling this investigation.
I agree more would have been available had RD just turned over "what he had" to media. I think it was fairly well coordinated with media, LE and RD.
First, she gives the Cousin It interview (before she knows about the video). then the video drops, and she releases stuff via FB that we can't mention but which really aided the investigation; then there's intensive coverage of items removed from the house (obviously the FB thing she did came back to bite her) and she responds with her written "statement," and so on.
It's like watching some serial killer who taunts LE via media, but in the 21st century, with SM, and of course, we hope no serial killing, but something equally horrible. And SM allowed this person to taunt Gannon's family mercilessly.
The RD video but a brake her on roll pretty quick.
