Some people in the true crime community are crazy and/or terminally stupid. Whenever there is an active investigation, they expect the police to release ALL information publicly, and get mad when they don't. Any time there is a person of interest, they want to swarm and harass them, their family, their friends, their neighbors, and their employer. And a lot of these people seem not to believe in due process. If a guy seems "suspicious" or "creepy" or "sketchy," and he MIGHT have been in the area at the time the crime happened, then that's enough and we should just go ahead and lock him up forever and/or kill him because obviously a weird guy is guilty of SOMEthing. And even if the police clear him, well, he's probably still guilty, and let's continue to stalk and harass him just in case. It's honestly scary that so many people are so quick to shout that people should give up their rights or that they don't deserve rights in the first place.

Because criminals are other, they are monsters. That's how things are portrayed, and it is easier for people to believe that. To believe it couldn't happen to them and they couldn't be the ones doing it. It is easier to make people who commit crimes into scary other things.
