This has had enough publicity for them to have seen/heard about it, so you'd have thought they'd have told the police it was them by now, wouldn't you

I can think of a hundred possibilities.

He should just have been charged with 'wasting police time' guaranteeing a sure and certain conviction, in the Magistrates court, and not incurring the horrendous costs of a lengthy trial in a criminal court.
The police are nuts !

Play the public spirited member of society.
A prosecution could have adverse effects on reporting genuine concerns.

He's not been charged as of yet.
For all we know he may well believe he saw an abduction.
He may not.
I'm not sure I'd like to see a public outcry over his actions, if it was a false report.
It's future abductees that may suffer.
IMHO.
