I think they have no idea where he is, or who he's hanging out with, and I don't think they want to catch him. If they did, he'd be a martyr, and someone would step up and take up the "most visible figurehead" role. Its better for the US to keep him on the run, in hiding, because he's less effective that way. The al-qaida membership still sees him as their leader, but they never hear from him.
