The problem on a site like WS is that people come fixated on a "guilty party", basically because they like or dislike various characters in the story. They go by gut feeling rather than the facts of the case. The facts of the case however are what would be presented in trial, and it is those facts, such as we know them, that would make any kind of prosecution of the most popular theory extremely difficult.
From Tugela's post. We arent a judge and jury. No one is obligated to express their opinions based on anything other than opinions, as long as they follow TOS. I am always curious when I see this issue raised-WS would be a ghost town if speculation and discussion was only allowed based upon "facts." Facts, when reported by media and even LE, can be fluid things imo.
TOS and mod/admin/owner discretion are the yardstick used here. And I respectfully disagree with your statement that the evidence is insufficient. I think there is an awful lot here that tells a very specific story. SA and BD are suspects in Hailey's disappearance. There is no secret about that.
Good for LE deciding to proceed with caution regarding arrest and prosecution. I would think there is every chance the crime against Hailey will be a DP eligible crime. At this point, LE may want to be sure that there is no chance at escaping that punishment. JMVHO.
