They didn't need them. They had their own qualified LE searching.I linked an article quoting the Sheriff stating volunteers weren't needed because they were using professionals to search. It's not illegal for BM and friends to search on their own.

More than 100 help search for missing woman in Chaffee County
"...they have been warned off by police.
Tim Nelson, 33, said: 'The Sheriff's office, they told us none of the fire guys are allowed up there.
'They can't keep us out of the forest so that's what some of the others have done – they set up their own little search party.'
Nelson added: 'It's a bad deal you know. They aren't telling us anything. We got excluded from everything."
Superposition: they can't stop them from searching.
That said, it is obvious they've been purposely left out of the loop. Without the loop they could use up money and time in rehashing territory already searched. Without the loop they could search and trample areas and contaminate evidence.
LE said no. They were warned off!!
