Some important pieces of hard learned experience I want all of you to keep in mind at all times, and it has raised it's ugly head in quite a few cases, including some I have been involved in.
The actor(s) and their confederates have on occasion, inserted themselves into cases, into social media, into search parties and passed themselves off as "interested parties" for the sole purpose of keeping an eye on the progression of the case, evidence gathered and to spread dis-information to the media, other searchers and LE.
Another facet of these cases are leaches that whip up a frenzy of speculation for their own enjoyment or to operate fund raising scams for their own profit. These heart rendering cases sadly attract the most hostile, attention seeking and dishonest individuals devoid of any empathy.
Do not assume for one second that we operate here in some insulated environment where what we post is not watched equally by elements of LE, attention seekers, profiteers and the actors themselves.
Social media is a double edged sword. Post respectfully and wisely.
