Thanks for this. This is exactly why I have stated why it was a crucial mistake for LE to label this as a runaway in the beginning. They lost the firsts days of investigating the way it should have been done. The first days are crucial in solving missing person cases......statistically the odds are against cases being solved the longer the investigation takes. If this case turns cold, I predict LE will be scrutinized for the way they handled this in the early phase, and rightfully so.
This is not a case of a teen missing. This is an 11yo, sheltered boy, with no phone, no transportation, no money. A fifth grade boy with no survival skills and no history of running away. This was handled poorly in my opinion.
with that said, I do agree that they are doing a great job thus far since labeling this case endangered.
MOO
