On WS, I tell myself that when the pieces don’t make sense, it usually means:
1) LE (or family) is keeping something huge out of the public
2) someone is lying
Or both.
Reading here and in the news, friends and family (and posters here who don't even know them) only have great things to say about Alan and Rusty. Pillars of the community, hard workers, stand up/solid guys, monogamous, etc. The perfect couple! And AW is so organized, well liked, regimented, kind, loving, generous, stable - an ideal guy. So I could be
way off base, but for all the oddities in this case,
the silence is what baffles me the most - and
there has to be a reason. The whole
"LE is working in the background building a case" feels a little limp after seven weeks of him being missing. No vigils, no pressers, no recent updates (save for the the upgraded "endangered missing", etc And even with that we have no idea why), no public searches or calls for searches, no statements from LE, and only a couple short interviews from family early on.
Did they forensically sweep the vehicle and find something? Did they get the phone records? Was there a reason his case changed to "endangered missing"? Were there clues to point them towards what happened and who did it? Is there a threat to the community? Did they find out where his phone last pinged? Do they have him on any other cameras heading to or away from his home?
After 7 weeks, we have no idea. None. And before some of you come at me and say "They don't have to tell us anything!" - I know that. LE can release as much or as little as they want, it's just rare that in all this time there is so very little .. and everyone is so quiet.
