Headlines tell it all - really?

"Police have gunman who abducted, robbed man in custody"

So, when you read that, did you wonder why the police didn't defend the man who was in custody? Did the police stand by while the gunman abducted and robbed a man who was in their custody?

The reporter for the Chicago Tribune tells the story a little differently.

Once the Streamwood Police had identified a subject, why wouldn't it announce that so-and-so was wanted for investigation? What? They're afraid to spook him and let him know they are looking for him?

Of course, they are looking for him? Why not ask the public for help in locating him?
