That presser rubbed me all sorts of wrong. Ok, State Police officers were in the vicinity at the time, and they had made contact with the couple who found them. The way that was sold to us though, was that it was some sort of mutual thing, where that couple and police found him together. I didn't see that at all in the video that couple took.
This whole thing could have been done via press release, but I think they felt they needed a press conference because of the criticism at not finding him sooner (not that I blame them with that terrain).
