This case has confounded me. I was pulled away by the passing of my mother and am now just getting back to it. I have a lot on my plate for a couple of weeks, but will start to reconnect with the searchers.
I suspect LE knows a lot more than they are talking about. I have contact information for the Mother and have been encouraged to call her when I get a moment. I will also catch up with the PI.
There was an additional SAR resource who was making himself available but ended up joining a local SAR Team and his assistance evaporated. The SAR community seems unwilling or unable to assist. I am seeing more and more of this. 90% of the time it is because LE has told them not to or the municipality is unwilling to give them an official call in. 10% of the time it is territorial BS.
Something really stinks about this case. I have a well developed nose for "something rotten" and this case reeks of behind the scenes manipulation.
I am also considering the possibility that the actor(s) or "others" have planted someone to watch the searchers and possibly participate in the searches.
Trackergd, firstly let me say, my deepest condolences to you over the recent loss of your mother. It can be such a difficult time and my thoughts go out to you in abundance.
I trust your judgement and your assessment of the current situation as it stands, and I am very disheartened by what I hear you say from what you are seeing and sensing about the search.
These types of complications are like a brick walls in a maze - you scramble over one only to find another block somewhere around the corner. The frustration for searchers must be immense, and there must also be a sense of hopelessness which makes it difficult for people not to feel as if they should just give up - let someone else find 'the missing'.
The search for Holly (from what I gather) is dangerously close to becoming an unsolved case unless something soon ignites the case to go in the right direction.
It would not surprise me in the least if there has been some interference and manipulation which has stalled or re-routed the way the search has been handled, by persons whose intentions are not good.
I feel for Holly, that she has not been found, and there has been no trace of her, and worst still that those who could help her be found have tried and their efforts have come to minimal outcomes.
If something smells about this case - I'd love to see it thrown out into the open, so Holly can be found - and justice served.
