The Sheriff is saying it's a focused search and that the community isn't in any danger and they are again looking for leads from locals. They haven't found Mariah.
Is anyone else thinking there are new developments, but not in time for the presser to be updated? Or that LE didn't want to tip their hands before knowing more?
FBI did a much better job than the Sheriff. Even if you aren't disclosing new information, there's a way to do it that doesn't make you sound like a careless jerk. Laughing and shrugging when there's a missing child and a terrified community is inexcusable IMO.
They couldn't have found her because someone would have reported the Medical Examiner showing up.
I don't like this Sheriff. When asked where the parents were, he laughed and said "I don't know where they are!" Come on.
He is smart. He knows what the media is trying to do. They (media) want to find the parents so they can harass them and try to get Nancy Grace style sound bites. The media can't be trusted in these types of cases, they're not looking for truth or facts, they just want something juicy to whip up the hoards of people looking to blame someone. I'm sure he knows where the parents are but thankfully he won't feed them to the media sharks.
Agreed. Wth?
They keep repeating that they are looking for someone who had contact with the family on Sunday. I feel like that is the only reason they had this presser. I don't think they don't want to give even a bit of new info. They are still looking for evidence/tips from the public. JMO.
I think that's a stall tactic because he doesn't want the public to know that they're the number one POI. If pushed he could just say, "I didn't know. They could be being interrogated, could be taking a polygraph, anything."

My feed kept cutting off. Did any reporters ask outright if they found her? I feel like they would have just delayed the 3:30 presser if they found her but didn't want to announce it until later today. This presser served no purpose if they found her and are trying to keep it under wraps. JMO.
