Thank you. I am literally on the other side of the country, so I don't know for sure how things work elsewhere. I am just used to the State Police being called in for better resources. I appreciate the input.
UPDATE! FBI: Stranger not likely behind girl's disappearance

The massive ground search for the missing 10-year-old girl was scaled back on Wednesday as investigators turned the focus of their work from searching to following up on tips they've received.
On Wednesday a second person came forward to report having seen Lindsey Baum on Friday night as she walked home along Maple Street from a friend's house.
Experts with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children say if the girl was abducted, it most likely wasn't by a stranger who was hiding in the bushes.
"From what knowledge we have and the information that I have that it's someone that she possibly knows, somebody that is in the area," said Henry Schmidt with the organization.
The FBI now wants neighbors to think about anyone who may have been in the area Friday night. They also want to hear about anyone suddenly engaging in strange behavior, such as not showing up for work, selling their car for no reason or changing their appearance.
"We're certainly not looking for a witch hunt or anything of that sort, but the bottom line is we have a missing girl. And so anyone who is in this area is going to be someone we want to talk to," said Ron Twersky, FBI assistant special agent in charge.
The missing girl's mother, who wanted avoid becoming the center of the investigation, voluntarily took a polygraph test. The father of the girl's best friend, Scott Williams, also volunteered to take the test.
"At their requests polygraphs were given to them. They passed those polygraphs. We're comfortable with the information they've shared with us and comfortable with the timeline they've explained," said Grays Harbor County Undersheriff Rick Scott.

THUD Finally things are starting to center on what really happened to Lindsay as they have learned more info and have probably now built a profile of her abductor. That is very good because they are now getting closer to finding her IMO.
We all realize that KK must be suspicious as she either didn't take a LD test or didn't pass it.
I can think of another possibility and then if my possibility or the mother each have a man {BF} hangin' around I would look at those guys very carefully too. Someone Lindsay knew and would get in a car with.
I think this puts us into looking at that 32% category of family or friends and I wouldn't be surprised to see LE having certain ideas on who it could be. I don't think they believe she ran away on her own after reading that. IMO
They won't do anything without irrefutable evidence IMO about arresting someone till they zone in on finding Lindsay. She is #1, but if they are pretty sure who took her and play their cards right by lying low, this person might get nervous and inadvertantly lead them to her. I might be jumping the gun a bit, but so hope with all my heart that she is still alive, holed up somewhere.
