According to TM, I asked him personally WHY we pulled out....he was not TOLD to LEAVE. He followed the leads and area he was asked to search and we did. There is so much land to cover and after the initial search...with no more credible leads it was futile.
According to LE, I was told the same story when I was searching on my own.
According to a local I searched with, I was told the same thing, too much ground to cover and no credible leads.
I do not know where Cobra got his info so late in the game, he was not there the first week or second or third....
