What was that question? I couldn't hear it.

 

[cluciano63]

Asking about witness who saw L at 4:30AM, -Le says we are not in a position to say that it did not happen, trying to figure out what DID happen

 

[epiphany]

Not at point to give more consideration to one statement than to another...

 

[JeannaT]

how are they moving forward? seems like they have nothing...

Eliminating the truck is moving forward - we know the truck has been found, and was a red herring.

 

[cluciano63]

Maybe some people we knew had contact with L as well as secondary tier, can speculate all we want, not in a position to know what may or may not have happened, may prove to valuable, or may be wrong info...all info being considered

 

[epiphany]

May prove to b valuable or prove to b inappropriate; not in position to lend favor to one and dismiss another...

 

[curiousgirl2010]

He says he can't say if the last witness' statement (JR seeing her at 4:30am) is futile or not. Can't prove to be true or false. Still in information gathering stage.

 

[epiphany]

any info will b evaluated on its merit...if we have video info that can support it, will give value to that info

 

[cluciano63]

We receive a lot of info
Any info will be evaluated
if video supports it, it gives credibility
not getting into specifics at this time

 

[epiphany]

...if we can corroborate that info w/someone or with a video...

 

[cluciano63]

Concerned about losing manpower as days progress?
Don't think so, volunteers committed, numbers may be down due to work, also weather...but many have chosen to be a part of search effort, numbers do not appear to have dropped off

 

[cluciano63]

167 searched on Thursday (these numbers seem low to me, just an opinion...)

 

[curiousgirl2010]

His frustration is that he CANNOT provide an answer at this point. Still does not know what happened to Lauren and wont relax until he does.

 

[cluciano63]

Frustration comes from not being able to provide an answer at this point...hope to be able to do so...will continue our effort, will not be satisfied until we find out what happened to Lauren...

 

[cluciano63]

Thank, hand over to Mr. Spierer, who is also thanking everyone

 

[epiphany]

Epiph: IMO, sending out a message to peers-we'll believe it when we can corroborate it with witness or video. Good.

 

[cluciano63]

Smallwood is closed as search center, will be run from McNutt command center...

 

[The Smurf]

Or sending out a message to the public- We do not really know anything of substance.

 

[cluciano63]

Still asking for volunteers to search...8am...
