Now that I am past my vapors….having never been told to go home and leave it to the locals in a missing case…. well, except for the Anthony’s, I can reply.
Who said this?
What if an abductor took Lisa and left town? Wouldn’t that be the most likely in such a case?
Believe me, if I knew what was "most likely" in this case, I'd be working for the police helping to bring this little girl back to her parents.
That is why the Amber Alert system has saved children.
National exposure can and has made the difference in solving cases.
True, and one would be hard pressed to say that this case has not had national exposure.
No matter how tired of it the locals are there are WSers that have stuck with it solved cases, found ids for the missing and submitted case changing information to LE.
Who said the locals are tired of anything? I'm a local, I never said that. I don't know a KC resident who is tired of seeing people pursue this case.
Please tell me where one local has said they are tired of anything; I'll be happy to set them straight.
The pictures can keep constant pressure on the abductor and/or those who have information. The descriptors are the essence of a search for a live child.
Agreed. Which is, I imagine, why the pictures of Lisa are on every masthead, banner, and story about this case.
How can the public be on the lookout if they don’t know if it is a baby or a child?
A baby needs items a child wouldn’t.
So say I notice that the neighbor has been taking diapers into a house that didn’t do so previously. Maybe I don’t follow the news much but I do have an idea a baby is missing and now someone is in need of diapers.
For messages to get across to a wide audience it is necessary to give that message repeatedly and accurately.
I do not understand how a lack of one picture or a different version of the noun (child vs, girl vs, baby) at this press conference undoes the three weeks of millions of impressions of the girls face, her name, her various clothing descriptions.
I watched the entire press conference, twice. Yet I still remember that when she was abducted Lisa Irwin had a cough and a bug bite under her left hear. That when abducted she was around 30" tall. That she'll be 1 year old on 11/11/11. That the house she was taken from is exactly 1.5 miles from a house where I built a swing set for another little girl who was Lisa's age this time last year. That she has blue eyes, a heart-shaped face, and I could draw her face from memory.
If it is good enough technique for advertisers to get attention then isn’t it worth it for Lisa?
all imo
I guess I wonder what would lead us to believe that her photo wasn't shown in the press conference because she's not "worth it?"
I don't think anyone views any of it in terms of a lack of "worth."
