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.

It was a public case with a ton of media attention throughout Canada. There was a lot of pressure to get some kind of answers - being finding these the missing or arresting someone for the crime.
