The Chief expressed in his recent interview with Perla Shaheen that the surrounding desert area was searched extensively by multiple LE agents/agencies, I believe he said they searched within a 5 mile radius of the Cal City home, and that they also utilized some specialized, impressive high tech equipment in their desert search as well. He sounds confident the boys are not in the desert. He also reconfirmed they’ve searched every nook and cranny of the Cal City home and backyard.
I trust the Chief/LE since they are the trained, experienced professionals investigating this case, and they know a whole he!! of alot more about investigating crime as well as the known facts in this case, than joe public, lol.
It’s great the public wants to help, searching, calling in *useful* tips etc., but they need to also let LE do their job and conduct their investigation without wasting LE valuable time and resources i.e., calling the tip line to tell LE what they’re doing wrong, and how they should be doing their job etc, etc. Like the Chief said, that’s just not productive.
So after several, extensive searches of all the places mentioned above, sounds like LE is confident O & O aren’t in the home, backyard, or desert. Chief went on to say in same recent interview with Perla, that the boys had to have left with “adult assistance”. Which based on the AP’s account of what happened on 12/21/20, if it’s true/accurate, leaves only one other possibility, that O & O were abducted from their yard or neighborhood during the time TW went inside the house while he had been outside with the boys throwing wood.
So putting aside the neighbor’s video surveillance since the time the video was taken might be in question, and given cameras may not have picked up certain things, including the boys for whatever number of reasons. Too many variables with the cameras, ok I can buy/understand that. However, what I do have significant trouble buying/understanding is why the AP’s haven’t made any urgent public pleas in the past two months, holding up recent pictures of the boys, begging for someone to return their babies to them. When anyone is abducted, let alone babies, it is a life or death situation and time is of the essence, period. The clock starts ticking moment 1 and the single, most important thing to do is to get the word out immediately. It doesn’t matter if you are stoic, private people, camera shy etc., as IMO, none of that matters, nor are they acceptable reasons to not put out urgent plea for your babies whose lives literally hang in the balance. Why? Because there are other options to get the word out. For instance, appointing a spokesperson to go out in front of the camera and speak on your behalf. If you don’t know or can’t find anyone willing to speak on your behalf, then you simply issue a written urgent plea/statement(s), similar to the statement the extended family put out early on, (although I’d expect the AP’s statement to be worded differently, and with a more urgent tone), in which the extended family made a point to say something to the effect their statement wasn’t made with, or on behalf of the AP’s, which is telling in and of itself.
At any rate, at the very very least, I’d expect the AP to have been issuing written urgent plea(s), with recent pictures of O & O attached, if they are not comfortable getting in front of cameras. (Their media appearance 2 days after they reported the boys missing, which IMO they were pressured into because people were outside their home wondering what happened to the boys and why they hadn’t spoken up yet, was not an immediate, urgent plea by any stretch of the imagination, IMO).
It is a huge red flag considering we are talking about tiny, defenseless 3 & 4 year old babies who would be absolutely petrified in the company of strangers doing god only knows what with/to them. It doesn’t matter that it’s now 2 months into the boy’s disappearance either. They haven’t been found yet, so there’s still every reason to be issuing pleas and searching for them until they are found. I have trouble giving any parent whose babies/children are missing a pass on this. Heck, we’ve seen strangers boots on the ground searching for O & O, plea-ing for O & O, organizing and attending vigils for O & O, organizing and offering up rewards, putting up billboards etc., etc. I don’t remember seeing, hearing, or reading anything about the AP being involved/helping in any form or fashion in any of the aforementioned endeavors/efforts to find their precious babies, Orrin & Orson.
Personally, I find it very unusual to not be hearing about it if they have been/are pleading and out searching for O & O considering all the community focus, as well as the true crime community, YouTube etc., focus on the case, but hey,
Maybe the AP are out there somewhere plea-ing for their babies.
Maybe the AP are out there somewhere pounding the pavement handing out flyers with recent pictures of their babies on them.
Maybe the AP are out there somewhere searching for their babies leaving no stone unturned.
Maybe we’ll find out at some point that the AP were doing all of these things under the radar??
That’s alot of Maybe’s surrounding parents’ efforts in a missing babies case, actually too many for my comfort level.
Perhaps my expectations are too high, but as it stands right now, by all outward appearances, I’ve known and seen people with lost pets who’ve shown more urgency/put forth more efforts to find their missing cat, dog, fish etc.
I’m not accusing the AP of anything, just stating the obvious and my befuddlement by their seeming lack of urgency to find their babies. Sorry for the long ramblings, this feels like a good place to stop.
Where are these precious boys?
All of the above is IMHOO.
