This may be a totally ignorant question, but if LE believed she was a runaway, would the FBI still be involved? Or is that just a matter of covering all bases.
Not ignorant at all! Great question. The FBI get involved typically due to lack of manpower. The local LE can only devote a certain # of hours to the case because they have other cases ongoing. They don't supersede the local LE either. It's a joint effort. The FBI just has more leverage when/if issues arise like jurisdiction or warrants, etc. Additionally, if anyone noticed the original Missing poster of Sara it stated at the bottom that she may have traveled out of state. So, by getting help from the FBI it allows them to use more search tools than they had before. Hope that helps.
