The data so far from Tevatron gives a 2-sigma signal. Not good enough to confirm anything. Physicists require a 5-sigma signal to confirm anything ( like tossing a coin and getting consecutively 20 heads in a row). With the eminent shutdown I have no clue what they will do with the data that has not been analysed. I can only read from that that they may have included further data and it wasn't promising, and therefore they decided to close the file on it.
