Was there? Until Monday afternoon, it was a missing persons case. The public focus was more on finding information that could lead to their being found rather than the need to arrest somebody.
IMO, a lot of the response is a
post-hoc reaction to the arrest itself. Probably triggered (and quite naturally so) by the change of emotional state that occurs when that nagging feeling in the back of your mind that they are already dead is confirmed. A need for justice (or vengeance) then becomes the primary emotion for most.
