Making it seem random means that investigators know going in that to find the perpetrator is going to be difficult - if not impossible - and it takes the focus off of the "victim's" life.
Just a thought.

I don't think it's part of the reason..it's all of the reason. Pick a random supposed suspect that is totally opposite of you and a total stranger and act like it was a random crime to throw the investigation off of you. It's also normal to forget or not notice facial features of people of other races when under duress so one wouldn't have to worry about having to describe the "suspect" in too much detail either.
