Recap of the recanvassing they did yesterday and are doing today:
20 resources out and about. Had 20-30 contacts with vehicles and pedestrians today led to the development of 12 new tips that we'll follow up on
Hope something will spark someone's memory. I don't know specifically what the new information gathered is, but I'll find out.
About the canvassing in Redmond—we're looking to find info about seeing Julia and the kids the morning of the 6th.
We are certainly considering charging Julia with a crime, but we haven't made that decision strategically today.
What I would like to say to Julia is irrelevant. But we want to talk to Julia to further our investigation.
Is there a danger of focusing on any one area of the investigation too much and it is something we have talked about. We shared a conference call with people around the country that investigate these cases more often than we do. We're trying to avoid tunnel vision and we feel we've done that.
Does that process lead to the crossing off of theories as viable options? Yes, but in the absence of really really good leads it's difficult to rule things out, but we're trying to.
Quite frankly, we're frustrated by Julia's cooperation. We're hopeful she can gather herself so we can have that conversation we need to have. The explanation we've been given is the Julia was much too devastated to speak to us during this week.
What will cause you to change the focus of the investigation from searching, missing person case or is this something else. We'll decide before tomorrow and I'll give you more information about that tomorrow.
We've had a 2-3 hour conference call with an agency that was extremely helpful, an agency that had worked on a similar case.
No searches, but we'll search if any of our new tips lead us to something, you may see us out there.
Keep the tips coming.
ETA:
I'll be out of town until Wednesday and away from a computer. Looking forward to reading your updates, SurfieTX. I hope we hear news Monday.
