I know they were involved in Kyron's case, which is when many of us read their site and saw they are behind certain aspects of missing children legislation etc...
But I doubt they stay involved, they may offer resources. I don't think it means anything "secret" necessarily. These days, kids who are missing for a period of time with no signs of parental abduction or runanway have to at least be considered as having possible involvement with something larger/more sinister, I think.
I agree that it is part of what they offer. But how many cases have the "collective we" been involved in and look how many of us were shocked when we heard they were involved with this one. I just don't think it's all that common.
We've posted about the SS getting involved in missing children searches before, it is part of what they offer.
But what I am wondering is when is the last time that the Texas Rangers have been mentioned in connection with the case? Are they still active?
Texas Rangers were on the scene of the search at SA's family home. That was two weeks ago.
I remembered because people were asking if they always wore cowboy hats during searches. :crazy: On this video you can see them carrying out computers:

Question about LE hierarchy: does a major case like murder, disappearance, etc, always automatically mean that state police (and iirc, the Texas SP are the Rangers?) get involved? Or generally speaking, do these cases stay with local LE, unless it is a small town type of situation like CCity, and the local LE does not have the experience or manpower?
I guess in simpler terms, I'm asking, do state police always get involved in major cases? And what is the deciding factor in when/if they do?
