Holly Bobo's case was similarly handled in that the entire town was allowed to search from the start, all over and through the woods where she was seen to have gone with the abductor, as well as similar in that LE was/continues to be extremely close-mouthed about what was found and where, anything about Holly's life in the days leading up to her abduction, etc...
I've said it before, no LE seems to know exactly how to handle these types of cases and each one becomes a case of trial and error. Each case is so different, and in Lauren's case, I am sure that LE did make assumptions early on that someone knew and would tell what happened to Lauren and where she ended up. They followed a "specific lead" as early as June 5th to search at least one lake. I think they were doing the best they could with what they thought they had.
As far as FBI involvement, we've seen them come in to help, if asked, very early on in some cases. They don't have to have interstate action proven to assist local LE with certain aspects of cases.
