For those unfamiliar with the area, the P.D.s in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and various towns in between) tend to keep everything quiet and very close-to-the-vest. They say little, give almost nothing away, and preserve their cases for future prosecution. This is the standard protocol. It's one that many P.D.'s follow across the country.
It can be exceedingly frustrating for new case followers to understand the public is not entitled to know the details of an investigation, especially as it is happening, and even after arrests and arraignments, it will often be <crickets> until a trial occurs when the state presents all their evidence.
Some things will be found out, like results from the autopsy in a few months, as that becomes part of the public record, but if you're new to following a murder case, get ready to have your patience tested and tested hard. Cases may take up to a couple of years, or even longer to get to trial, depending. Covid may have lengthened the average time.
IMO
