That's not what the sheriff said.
Regarding..."They aren’t releasing it because they don’t want to tell us the truth."
No doubt about that.
“Because it is evidentiary.... you know there’s criminal defense attorneys out there and this thing called the Constitution.... we’re comfortable that we have the suspect in custody...”
He clearly says it at 29:26 in the video here:

Please watch again and tell me he doesn’t say what I’m hearing.
Now, he’s obviously tired. He may have misspoke.
But how do you have a dead man “IN CUSTODY” and why are you worried about defense lawyers for a DEAD MAN??
