Did you hear they picked up to 2123? I haven't looked at map yet to see where that is.

 

[Peppery]

No previous 911 calls to home, per sheriff

 

[whitelilac]

this doesn't sound good

no thermal
no tracking other than around house
shoulder to shoulder search of 6 acres
investigation shifting to investigation

 

[sleuth_truths]

That's a HUGE cowboy hat.

 

[Peppery]

Chief deputy, Wise County: over 300 searchers covered vast area

 

[Ontario Mom]

I don't believe for a moment, that little girl left that property on her own.
