With apologies, another long post from me. Feel free to scroll and roll!
Do you think that there could be dissension between the groups due to the 'different investigative strategy?' or because the DA doesn't think that they can prosecute the case based on a second sketch being released?
Other reasons?
Just me speculating.....
I agree with both you you that something seems wrong in this case....and has from the get-go. I am not saying we are entitled to those answers here and now, but just putting some of my thoughts out there as what seems 'off.'
Some of my observations of things that seem wrong, or strange in this case are:
-the use of the word 'twist' very early on (could be an 'offhand' remark that had way more power than intended . I think it was @mtnlites who suggested this several pages back.)
-Leazenby 'recognizes that voice' and says this in an interview (it means that he has spoken to this person directly at length, or heard their voice at length in order to recognize it but not enough to know who it is)
-LE never mentions that they have cleared any of the witnesses (in some cases that I have followed in the past, you tend to hear that people who are witnesses to seeing a crime or a perpetrator at the scene have been 'cleared' or are not a suspect)
-no sketch displayed at all in February 2019 (This seems to pinpoint that they made their 'turning point' in this case at least prior that time)
-the audio not including the word 'guys' from the get-go (What harm could it have done to release that one word?)
-not releasing the video right from the get-go (again, it could have only helped with their request for tips, especially by asking the public to look at the 'mannerisms' and NOT the killers gait)
-LE being so confident that people are scared to come forward in this case to provide a tip (Why are they so convinced of that?) Also stating that they know it is about power to the killer (Has he taunted them or contacted them?)
-the confounding difference between the first and second sketch that are supposedly two different people but the true killer could end up looking 'somewhere in between the two sketches' (You have all said it in many different ways in this thread and every thread since April 22nd, and I think we are on similar pages on this that it is very confusing.)
-no mention of the reward in the last two press conferences (seems strange to me not to mention it when it could be a huge 'that one tip' motivating factor for a person to call!)
-putting that they have a witness and that the killer made mistakes only in the flyer handed out at the April 22nd presser and not actually having Carter say that during the presser (out of everything that was disclosed that day, those are two really important things that LE could have included in Carters speech. I wonder if the witness isn't simply a witness to seeing the killer in passing that day, but a witness to something else?)
My mind hasn't changed that LE is going to make an arrest in this case...but I was way off base when I thought it was going to happen two months ago.
When that day comes that we know who did this, I hope that we can all come back to this thread to be thankful together that he has finally been stopped.
I hope today is the day.

Thank you Bradfordsleuth and everybody else who has chimed in on this line of discussion! It is so refreshing to know I’m not the only one who has had these things clanking around in my head. Everyone has made really good points.
As far as some made here, the “twist” comment made early on has always been intriguing but is seldom mentioned now. Is it because it’s no longer considered a twist?
Leazenby recognizes the voice. What the heck. Why would you even say that? If he truly believes that then he needs to be going over all his notes and records on everybody he has talked to or interviewed in an official capacity in the last two years and call them all back in. Yes that would be time consuming and tedious. So what! You’re looking for a killer! Do it!
All the rest of you items are right on target. I wish LE would release more evidence. I’ve started wondering if the reason they don’t is because there is no evidence to release.
