The police kept people away, so a few details were leaked by the news. There will always be some who don't understand and scream 'police state' if they're told 'No' for any reason, and some used that as it sells well.

First responders see it all, just like a surgical nurse. Forensics had to identify the missing by analyzing shreds.

Anyone else going in to get a look would have contaminated the scene.
