Adams was quoted by the Post as saying the police were withholding the suspect's name for now to deny him any advantage.

“We don’t want to release that now,” the mayor said. “If you do, you are basically giving a tip to the person we are seeking and we do not want to give him an upper hand at all. Let him continue to believe he can hide behind the mask."

Yeah yeah. I'll believe it when you prove it Adams. Sounds like you still have Jack shit to me.

That part cracks me up. As if the killer has no idea the police are after him.

It's worse.

It implies the killer has no idea who he is, so the police informing the name is different from just telling him they know his name.
