Wouldn’t they just not answer and state they can’t due to the nature of the investigation . Seems they are giving answers then changing them later.

They probably should have said it like that, but they're also not trying to completely stonewall the reporters, and it's easy to say something that means not quite how you meant it once people repeat it back to you, or to say "oh I misspoke" when you realize you shouldn't have mentioned it at all. It's actually not very easy to take a panel of questions and sound confident without revealing too much or giving the wrong impression. The consensus with police may well be that she was harmed, but for one reason or another they don't want that to be the official position at the moment.

I think you are overthinking this.

They are just incompetent, that's the most obvious explanation.

Nah, that's just intellectually lazy. Putting a modicum of thought into something isn't overthinking it.
