I missed sister and MP, just caught "Janice" from the Public information office, and she basically said:
*no investigators involved
*no contact with LE in Alabama
*being treated as a standard missing person case, they don't think there is reason to act otherwise
*no searchers from the Sheriff's office
*admits foul play "entirely possible"
*they put GP in national missing person registry
*they can only hope she catches broadcasts (if possible) and responds to family
anyone else who watched can correct me on any of this - sound was pretty low

I missed sister and MP, just caught "Janice" from the Public information office, and she basically said:
*no investigators involved *NO SMPD INVESTIGATORS, OR NONE AT ALL LOOKING INTO THIS?
*no contact with LE in Alabama WON'T EVEN TOUCH THIS
*being treated as a standard missing person case, they don't think there is reason to act otherwise UM, WHAT? CHILDREN "GO MISSING" NOT ADULTS!
*no searchers from the Sheriff's office SO NOT LOOKING FOR A BODY OR NOT LOOKING FOR HER AT ALL?
*admits foul play "entirely possible" IF IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THEN WHY ISN'T IT BEING TREATED AS AN OPTION?!?! B/C ITS A SMALL TOWN AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES? FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, TURN IT OVER TO TBI OR FBI OR WHATEV! GRR
*they put GP in national missing person registry NICE GESTURE
*they can only hope she catches broadcasts (if possible) and responds to family CUZ AFTER BEING GONE FOR 2.5 WKS *NOW* THEY MIGHT START BEING WORRIED SO *NOW* SHE MIGHT CALL THEM AND TELL THEM NOT TO. *EYEROLL*

always willing to play devils advocate...
stress whether brought on by guilt or worry manifests itself the same. i don't think him being uncharacteristically jittery marks him as a suspect. jmo.
WOW. That was stunning. For me anyway. I learned alot though. Things are just as they appeared, that LE agency has been doing NOTHING. It is time, I think, to start really pushing for help from bigger guns!
(eta i WROTE SOME COMMENTS next to the recap of the pc)
ok i realize i'm a newbie here and far too close (w/o being actually involved w/ the family) to the sitch so forgive my frustration. can some of you experts tell me what this stuff means? is it just a "appease the frothing public" kinda thing or was there real info in there that i'm missing? :waitasec:

Is it possible LE is playing possum so as not to give anything away, but is really working on this case? Please--because I can't believe they aren't doing anything!!!!
Re: the investigators...
Hamilton County PIO Janice Atkinson said Hamilton County was NOT taking over the case - they are assisting. They asked for assistance with releasing information (ha - how can they need help? they aren't releasing anything) so she will be the point of contact. She also said two investigators from HCSO will be assisting SMPD.
Columbo, I hope you are right. I really do. But I felt like I had been hit in the gut following that. I can not imagine how her sister and brother must be feeling. We have been told by the family that this is happening....they are receiving no support from LE. They would not be fighting so hard if LE was supporting from behind would they? LE would leave family floundering???
The spokeswoman looked bored and annoyed by the whole thing, especially that reporters would have questions. Gail's sister was a HEARTBREAKER. it is about time MP said SOMETHING, so thank him for that. I don't expect LE to investigate him or anyone else ANYTIME soon based on the spokeswoman's responses, anyway. she looked like she had to do this on her lunch hour or something.
