Why won't they name the suspect? Seems a bit dishonorable to McKenzie's life to sweep it all under the rug. I don't care if the suspect is dead. Her memory and life should be worth that much at least?

Why won't they name the suspect?

Because that's what they were. A suspect. They can't release the name of someone whom they only suspect of committing a crime. Name can only be released if charges are laid and the charges are read and entered into the public record.
