I think it is a shame that it takes almost a week for LE to get cell ping records when a person is missing and could be trapped in a wrecked vehicle or otherwise in need of rescue. We need to take advantage of the technology we have available to almost everyone much sooner.
Privacy laws are an issue, but that could be taken care of with a simple waiver which a cell phone owner could use to specify to whom and under what circumstances their information could be released in an emergency situation. Maybe one of those websites that people can go to for legal documents should offer such a document which could be made available free to the public. They could promote it as a public service and draw new customers to their site.
The missing woman's mother, Jackie Watson, told NewsChannel 9 that her family would like to thank the public for all of the offers of help and assistance. At this time, but the family is asking that people respect the advice of the Sheriff's Department and avoid designated search areas. However, they ask that people check their personal property, including buildings, basements, or sheds.
Sgt. John DEredita, of the Onondaga County Sheriffs Office, said cell phone usage from Watsons cell phone on the day she disappeared was used to determine the search area.
Detectives would like to hear from anyone who may have been in the area between 7am and 3pm and who may have been operating or saw a dark colored pickup truck.
