It wasn't treated as a crime scene at the beginning. Folks were free to come and go. None of the four POIs were tested for drugs or alcohol (that we know of; I'd like to be wrong on this), no vehicles were impounded, etc. Did LE search through their trash, did LE check their bags and go through their belongings, did the parents have proper food, drink, diapers, and clothing for DeOrr, were the POIs movements monitored? Who knows... I get the impression that it was treated primarily as a lost child case and nothing else for at least the first two days, which would have been a crucial time to collect evidence. In my opinion, it would have been prudent for at least ONE law enforcement officer to have been collecting evidence from the get-go. I understand search and rescue would have been the absolute number one concern, but it would not have hindered the search efforts to have had one person simultaneously looking for "other" clues. I'm not trying to criticize LE. It's a small town and people do get lost in the wilderness on occasion - I can understand why they thought it was nothing more, but I feel they were a bit naive in being so trusting of these parents. I guess I don't think they were being very skeptical at the beginning. Obviously this is just my opinion (and maybe I'm wrong; I'd be elated to find out that LE WAS collecting evidence from the get-go).
