Yes, but these cases are rare. We pay our taxes, and we want LE to work on resolving these situations.
What do you think LE is doing? If you don't feel you're getting YOUR moneys worth then by all means call BPD and tell them that.
Take a look at the news. These kinds of cases are not rare, Read back a couple threads, do a Google search, ask your local F.B.I. office.
These case are piling up all over the country.
[/quote]And, there is no evidence that she was doing hard drugs, or that her friends were dealers, or that they dumped her body. Given no evidence, why assume the most terrible possibility?[/quote]
Not everyone does. Why so much protest you can always use that ignore button right?
[/quote]That statement would not necessarily mean that they know that LS is dead and that her death took place in Bloomington.[/quote]
We only know that they are focusing the search locally and that includes fields, woods, and water. What do you think it proposes?
[/quote]I did not deny that LS & her parents talked on the phone everyday, just that it seemed a bit much.[/quote]
The context of your statement at the time implied that you thought it was not true.
This puts what you believe in direct conflict with what LS's mother says to be true.
[/quote]What facts are being contradicted?[/quote]
The fact that there is absolutely no indication of LS leaving the country.
The fact that her family claims to have had daily contact with her. You cannot just disregard that.
The fact that the F.B.I. have not taken jurisdiction in this case meaning there is no indication that LS has left Indiana.
I called and spoke with F.B.I. in Bloomington three weeks ago and was told this fact over the phone...so no link.,..but you can call and verify it for yourself.
[/quote]Suppose every poster on the board wrote the same post which said "her friends dumped her body." Hundreds and hundreds of posts all saying the same thing. Would that be useful to read? I don't think so.[/quote]
No, it would be as useless as chasing non-existing leads out of country.
A much better scenario might consider LS alive and captive here in the states and/or in Indiana. This is still very possible imo.
[/quote]To the extent of my knowledge, LS did not travel to any of those places, nor did she have intense interest in those locations. But I have mentioned NY, LA, PA and esp. NYC and Westchester County. Israel was her most recent destination though.[/quote]
All F.B.I. matters when and if necessary.
[/quote]But it's not a zero-sum game. If someone were to write some media articles to gain publicity in Israel or conduct a volunteer search, nothing would be lost. Even if she were not to be found in Israel, the Israeli public would still benefit from the information gained.[/quote]
I think it's a great idea...let us know how it's going and how we can help.
[/quote]Again the strawman: we can't even think about the "child" being in Israel, because then we would be
required to spend hundreds of thousands to sent the entire BPD over there, and it would cost too much.[/quote]
Already told you...Israel would be an F.B.I. matter...what makes you think BPD would go to Israel.
[/quote]We don't really know what LE thinks happened that morning; therefore, we cannot follow their lead, nor is it important for us to do so.[/quote]
Wrong again.
If you've followed online or participated in any of the searches or spent any time at the search center then you would know that LE has extremely strong opinions about what happened based on evidence that they have collected.
LE directed the searches, volunteers coordinated and conducted the searches along-side LE.
They were hoping that the searches would turn up further articles of evidence...and they did.
