I can't even imagine how helpless it would make me feel as a parent to not be able to pound the pavement. IMO, LE is pretty convinced that she's not in the immediate area. If she were trafficked, there's a good chance she is out of state and SM may be the only option for an active search. There was a victim recovered in Southfield (where DS works) last week from out of state leading to the arrest of a trafficker from Sterling Heights. When I researched the shadiest of the motels in Southfield, 2 were within walking distance of MetLife.

The tipster, a 15-year-old girl, told investigators she was picked up in New Jersey several weeks ago by Golden and a 17-year-old girl, according to Schuette’s office.
Golden allegedly told the girls he would take them to Michigan for commercial sex dates.
The 15-year-old girl was found in Pennsylvania and it is unclear if she ever was brought to Michigan.
On Wednesday, investigators searched the website www.backpage.com and a section advertising “adult entertainment: escorts,” Schuette’s office said. Investigators spotted a posting with photos matching the 17-year-old girl.
The posting allowed agents to find the girl Wednesday and arrest Golden at a Southfield hotel, Schuette’s office said.

It must be devastating for your child, of any age, to be missin, and LE does not want you to search or get a search party together!
It is unfathomable to me that as a parent, my child is missing, and LE is not conducting any searches. I am to SIT and wait - hoping for what? The only sensible conclusion that I can draw is LE has some information and have shared this knowledge with her family. Perhaps not the exact details, just enough that they do have a trail. :911:
