Yes, and I'm thinking the criteria for an Amber Alert should be changed. They didn't have a description of a car, or of who took her. And she was considered a runaway because of her age? Or her weight?!? And then she turns up dead two months later. Perhaps an Amber Alert wouldn't have saved her, but it would have helped people be on the lookout.
I live about 10 miles from Greeley and had NO clue she was missing until my mom from TX told me so. The coverage here stunk. And there were no alerts of anything on the highways. If only they could have had her description up or something to let us know there was a girl missing.
I'm so frustrated. I feel like her family was victimized, their parenting skills questioned, people questioning Kayleah's behavior-including someone on WS saying she looked like she took meth-all the way to the police and FBI kind of sort of looking for her, but constantly mentioning she could have run away. It made everyone look at Kayleah and think she was some wild child from a dysfunctional broken home who was on the street somewhere. People took the situation less seriously, and that whole time she was stuck in a drainage pipe somewhere.
I'm sorry if some of my facts are wrong, but I feel like this case was fumbled and that things should have been taken more seriously from the start. She was only 12!!!
