Still no updates from local LEOs. There is a prayer/vigil for 2pm today at the house, organized by the pastor at Solid Rock Missionary Baptist Church, which is one of the churches in town. Some of the neighbors are not too happy because they're getting tired of all the loitering and noise, but nobody is really upset about the desire to find these little boys. So I'd say to expect photos and video later of this.
For those wondering about the public timeline/alerts. I have them. CCPD uses the Nixle alert system. They have sent out a total of three alerts since Monday about this - two on Monday and one on Wednesday. That's it.
The first community alert went out Monday, 12/21 at 8:07 PM:
http://nixle.us/CE986 [since deactivated because it was updated a few hours later]
The second community alert/advisory went out Monday 12/21 at 11:23 PM:
http://nixle.us/CE9CS [This was updated information and they added one photo]
The third advisory went out Wednesday, 12/23 at 4:16 PM
http://nixle.us/CEE3J [Not much of an update except to reiterate the boys' names, clothing, that they are 'believed to have left on foot' and the usual contact information.]
Any other information or timeline is stuff being reported by third-party witnesses, and some peoples' interaction with CCPD directly, such as speaking to Lt. Jesse Hightower. Even the media information is thin, at best. Most of what we are getting is coming from community members loitering and watching, some helpful...some not. There had been a lot of chanting/yelling by some over zealous people. There is a LOT of unofficial, unverified stuff out there and a lot of rampant rumors an speculation. In some places, it's really ugly... I mean, I'm sure you can imagine what people are doing and saying. Personally, given what I know of the community, I'm not at all surprised that people are staying quiet.
