I agree.
In this particular case, I really think the Sheriff has hurt himself and caused a lot of the questions and rumors by putting out contradicting and incomplete information.
Like talking only about 1/2 of the people that were present. It may have been better to just say nothing than to do that.
It is probably because he is not experienced in such an important and time sensitive case such as this, but he would have to know that people and the news sites are wanting to know every bread crumb they can find to help find the boy.
This below is an example of the inconsistent statements we have seen which I feel contribute to the problems this case is facing in the media.
First he says the drone is being brought in to help search and then he says they are not looking for anything in particular. That is sheer contradiction. Its no wonder media and people have questions.
"A remote-operated drone will be used Wednesday to help with the search in the area where the two-year-old disappeared. Bowerman said the Twin Falls County Sheriffs Office will fly their drone in an effort to cover areas that are difficult to access on foot.
They are just photographing the area in case this should ever turn into a criminal investigation, Bowerman said. They are not looking for anything in particular, just a photo of the area in general."
