The cops knew very well that ending the lockdown would likely locate him pretty quickly. It was risky but the timing was about right IMO. They probably thought he'd be weakened by that point--from lack of food, sleep & maybe blood loss and shock (but they didnt know the extent of the injury).
Like I said--if the guy who found him in the boat had been killed by Dzho, you'd be blaming the authorities for not doing enough. Under the circumstances, I think they handled it pretty well. Maybe not perfect but I don't expect perfection in anything. You don't deal with sociopaths with logic.
