I hate to say this, but I've followed this case from the beginning, and from the outside, at least, there seems to be an unsettling and perplexing lack of urgency all around.
(Cringe) I know, I can't believe I said that. I don't mean to be cruel or critical, but this is my opinion based on the many cases that I've followed here over the years.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they don't care, I'm not saying that they're not making a good faith effort or shirking their duties, but on a scale of 1 to 10, whereas many people/entities would be at 11 in terms of motivation, action, panic, making great sacrifices and having a stop-everything-do-anything-no-matter-how-small attitude, I'd rate the overall reaction/efforts from all of the combined parties at a 7.5--competant, yes, solid, perfectly respectable, "a priority," but not a superhuman, all-out, go above and beyond convergence of people, actions and attitudes. Again, this is how it seems from the outside, so I 'm probably wrong--I hope I am.
If I disappeared and were in a dangerous situation, where every hour brought new miseries, trauma, and fears, I would hope, expect, and need a time-is-of-the-essence, "put every volunteer to work, " "every second counts" reaction from friends, family, LE, and other governmental entities, not just an adequate, competent one.
