Hm, interesting. This statement looks LE are trying to bring the heat with this, trying to push the family into interviewing again. It also implies the family has not told the truth before. OR, it could also be taken as an acknowledgement they only want to get the truth, so perhaps new things turned up during the search which pointed to an intruder, thus making LE want to speak to the family again.
I'm really not sure what to think. Short's statement of cooperation has come after far too many days of he said/she said over cooperation. LE started the "not cooperating" meme, and hasn't let it go. They could have let this die, but they keep bringing it up, prompting a response from the Irwins, and starting this whole cycle over and over again. If LE really wanted to speak to them again, all they have to do is call up Short and ask - not make a statement to the media.
I'm not sure what game they are playing here. It comes across like they're trying to bring heat on the family or push them into more interviews, but it's making me a bit uneasy the way they're playing this out in front of the media. The media has been completely one-sided in reporting this case, and I'm not sure if that's because of the tone LE set, or from their own tabloid nature. I'm not trying to bash LE at all, but their media statements are starting to bother me.
