So this Tennessee deal - breaking news then not breaking news- is strange. I just received a text message stating it was a retraction for the earlier message that said the search was being extended to southeastern Tennessee. This is weird because the text did not come from any of the four local tv networks here in Indy. I do not receive any text message or email notifications from any news network, the only text alerts I am signed up for is Amber Alerts. This message came across my phone the same way an Amber Alert would, or a weather alert from the National Weather Service.
Did anyone else in the Indy area receive a text alert like this?
The other strange thing is that I looked at 3 of the 4 news websites this morning and they were all reporting the same, that the search was being extended to southeastern Tennessee. This was later changed to retractions.
Now - here is the strangest of all: the very first article I saw on the news Station website showed a side-by-side of the BG sketch and an actual photo of a neighbor who brutally murdered a 12 year old girl in Tennessee. I only saw this photo once and the next time I went back to the site it had been removed.
Did anyone else see this side-by-side photo before it was removed?
