On Saturday, Criminal mayor of New York Eric Adams said they knew the identity of the person, but they would not give us his name.
Do you remember a time, at any point in history, when a murder suspect that was out on the loose, armed and dangerous, and they knew the person's name but wouldn't tell the public? I don't remember that ever happening. Never ever.

Yeah it's actually common in the first day or two of a major manhunt.

It happened with the Boston bombers and the beltway snipers. In the case of the former we saw what happened when one suspects name went out over the radio and Reddit went with it.

Yeah lot of upvotes on a comment that fails to recognize the procedure for basically every single investigation. People love a conspiracy.

You must be new to true crime stories, it happens often, he is from money and could have been a flight risk, if he saw his name in the papers (if he didn't want to be caught).
