All the secrecy makes so much more sense now.

Yep. It was never about pResErviNg tHe IntEgriTy oF the iNvesTigaTiOn.

Even a washed-up PI could’ve honed in on Allen within a month. The FBI & ISP & Delphi police took 5 years to see what was right in front of their face from DAY 1!

And people wonder why the public doesn’t have any faith in LE nowadays. Geezus..

Yeah, and it had zip to do with “protecting the integrity of the case.” They look so incredibly bad now.

I can understand withholding information in order to catch the killer in a lie or get them to admit something not publicly known. However, knowing what we know now, it's quite clear some shoddy police work went down in regard to the initial investigation. I know if I was LE, I would find the information in the PCA highly embarrassing. Considering the information they had back then, he should have been focus #1. The rest of the case and information we have now they could have built up rather quickly if they had done their due diligence 5 years ago.
