Very good question. I'd like to know the answer to that myself.
All I know is that when it appeared that Barry Morphew might be getting ready to run, he was arrested.
When it looked like Scott Peterson was going to run, they arrested him.
I have to think that LE, if able, would perhaps go the same route.
MOO
Let us speculate that LE has any unnamed, but highly suspicious POI under surveillance/tracking to quickly execute a similar maneuver should it be necessary. Given all the planning time LE has afforded the subject in question, I'm not so sure. I continue to be concerned about the children in that home.
All this being said, after months of MM missing, and despite all the warrants and searches, LE has *not* proclaimed LM as a POI. As such, he is free as a bird, and can continue to handle his affairs as he sees fit, and those of his children. He is well within his rights to do so, given his current status.
I know it's easy to sit in the armchair and judge. But I can't help but wonder how this case has gone on as long as it has, and with three little kids in the eye of the storm. I have never seen a case where there is allegedly as much evidence of a smoking gun. I must be missing something.
All of the above is amateur opinion and speculation. No one, including LM has been named a suspect, or even a POI. As such, I must be wrong about my speculations or there certainly would have been an arrest by now with all the activity and forensic analysis that has transpired?
