@ Tower.. Thank you for your input regarding SAR, you saved me the work I might have otherwise had to gone to to look into it. "It must depend on the jurisdiction" makes perfectly good sense. In the case with Abby and Libby, given the circumstance.. their ages, lack of appropriate clothing for the cold winter evening, drop off point, and the fact that they had never run away or acted in an irresponsible fashion before, was enough reason IMO to keep the search going that night. If one district had been too busy/short staffed to help out.. then you find another district that can help. There should NEVER be a lack of resources in the first, MOST IMPORTANT, hours of a search. NEVER. As for the lights NOT being used the first night.. isn't that a large part of why LE stopped the search around midnight, because they couldn't see the area well enough, thus the danger it might pose to searchers? Then you make the extra effort and get that searchlight up! Respectfully, we can argue these points until "the cows come home," but IMO that search being called off at midnight was mistake #1 in a 4 year old case that STILL HASN'T BEEN SOLVED. IMO ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
