I'm not adopting the conspiracy here, but if they can't find the shooter with the whole country getting behind him, then they would want the optics of finding the shooter. Which could backfire, of course. It would be very telling, for example, if the cops got real confident about it and then the real shooter made some kind of public display with the false shooter in custody.

This was my thought process, too. If they got a framed guy here, the actual CEO killer would likely or hopefully do something else to let the public know that they were still out there.

Yeah, thats part of the reason I don't buy it. If the actual killer acts again, it will be very embarrassing for the police.
