BBM- This has been my feeling for the past few days. When I listened to him answer that question, my heart jumped.
IMO- I feel they may have already found Gannon and are keeping it quiet until her actual hearing next week.
I can only think of 2 reasons for them not saying anything at all about any searches--
1. They have already found him
2. They are still searching but not disclosing it to the public.
Just my thoughts today.
If they found him, they would need a coroner to remove him. I don't think they could keep it a secret. There are credibility issues, community trust issues, family trust issues. It would be unethical to not disclose to his family that he had been found. It serves no purpose to try and hide him being found. They aren't interrogating her. They charged her with murder. It would only strengthen their hand to have his body found and an autopsy performed sooner rather than later.
There are protocols that must be followed. See below.
