Did you hear the press confernce? What was that talk about "the real father?"

The cops were hearing rumors after the investigation started that Short was not Jennifer's dad. The cops didn't feel free to release the info that he was indeed her dad until they knew the whereabouts of Jennifer, in case it was guy who thought he was her dad who grabbed her. The cops also apologized to the family, which I thought was a kind thing to do, for not being able to put the rumors soundly to rest earlier.
