They obviously need help
There is far more information released to the press in other states, even including naming suspects. The information can be helpful on so many levels. A witness observing a certain model car on the side of the road at a certain hour may be an unremarkable/forgetable event untill they see something on the news. A person selling a certain type firearm in a private sale may think nothing of it untill he sees that that type firearm was used, etc. There are just so many unremarkable events that people observe every day that can only become remarkable when they see something on the news. Other jurisdictions know what info to release to the media to get the public's help. It is certainly obvious in these cases they need help.
The comment that the public is not in danger is ridiculous. If a person kills when they are in a certain personal situation, they are likely dangerous if they get involved with another person is a similar situation, Probably more likely since evidently it is unlikely that they will be caught.
