It is Holly's mom's own words about TBI refusing to discuss the case with her that make me think that they are almost holding the family hostage with a lack of information. If they were taking the time to talk with the family, explaining that they were working on certain leads, checking various facts, looking into phone records, etc...as I hope they are doing, she might not be so inclined to sound as though all they are telling her is that "the law says we don't have to tell you anything." She has said that more than once, so she must be hearing it from LE directly, IMO.
If the case has stalled, why not involve the community? Why not call a town meeting and try to glean out some missing info? In a small town, there probably isn't much in the way of gossip that hasn't made the rounds anyway, why not be open with the people that you work with, live alongside, shop with, etc? LE is supposed to work for the people, and I know that includes Holly, but I am not seeing how they are helping her in any way with a wall of silence. And it is just my opinion.
I can see your point too. I just don't know why it's like that. I have wondered if they already know what they need to know, but are still tring to get that final bit of evidence or are they off track and just not applying themselves. Who knows? IT's such a difficult thing to figure out.
I do have one question that is bugging me. Please excuse me if it's been addressed before. Are law enforcment required to notify family or make public with an announcment if they have discover the body? Is it possible they have discovered her, but for investigation purposes, are not releasing that information? Just curious.
