The use of the word "apparent" can get across the meaning while leaving ajar the door to judgment.

Ex-NBA referee Troy Raymond kills self on day wife's body found - ESPN

And I know where Tim was going, but this is why I did not get the reason he concluded we are talking about a person as a murderer. My confusion has nothing to do with Tim's style.

Tim Holifield, a Montgomery County constable, said that Raymond hasn't been named a suspect in his 41-year-old wife's killing and it's premature to connect their deaths.

"At this point, to call him anything other than a person of interest post-mortem would be unfair and improper," Holifield said.

I see. You found it a little snarky, then?
