I was on the Nov 8 search two days, cut my finger pretty badly, got scraped from head to toe, had over a hundred burrs that had to be picked or cut out of my hair from going through shrubs, dozens of mosquito bites (despite bug spray), and so on. I know how overwhelming it is on many levels, esp in this case where there's no witnesses coming forth.
I am okay with TES leaving, I don't run the world and they can do what they want. I just do not get why they are still talking to the media and discouraging other searchers. What purpose does that serve? That's my big question.
If they know something, then they and media should say that for reasons they will not share at this time, they know the body will not be found in Orlando and for all searchers to stop searching. Why? So no one gets hurt searching for something that LE knows 100% won't be found. But TES is saying they are leaving 100 searchers in Orlando to continue the search. Makes no sense to me.
I may edit my post, I don't want to get in trouble for being negative, but I wanted to reply to your post either way.
