Hmmm indeed.
It's very hard to accept that a former police officer wouldn't recognize the need to report it to LE immediately, KWIM? Sounds like the owner wasn't there at the time of the sighting.
I can understand this to a certain extent. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine the thoughts going through your head. What if it isn't them and you have just put another family "on the radar" of authorities. Although we all like to believe in law enforcement, we also know that confrontations with them are not always positive experiences. As former law enforcement this person would know that. Also you can be charged for filing false reports, so perhaps this person feared some type of retaliation if it wasn't them. I don't really know, just throwing some ideas out there. I do want to believe these boys were sighted alive.
