Is anyone else in PNW area as frustrated and perplexed by the lack of media coverage on Tyler's disappearance as I am?! I went to King 5's facebook page today to see what they were saying about it, and I had to scroll for what felt like miles, past a bunch of silly posts, to get to the ONE post they had about him on April 20th. No coverage since then that I could tell. That seems so odd to me! In the days that followed his original disappearance, I kept checking back and expecting to see updates as well as interviews with friends and family members and LE, either pleading for help or pleading for him to just come home, depending on what they think the circumstances are. That would seem to be the typical, normal response. Plus, most people know nowadays that the way to get the public involved is to keep the story circulating on the news and in social media. Keep it trending and get it out everywhere!!!
The original case that brought me to Websleuths was the mysterious disappearance of Bryce Lapisa. His family and friends did a great job of keeping his face and story in the public eye. Their response to the situation seemed so much more genuine and authentic. The only public posting I have been able to find about Tyler so far was one public post from his sister and one from a friend. If they can post once publicly, why not dozens of times?!?! What happened after their initial posts that made them decide to go quiet?
I'm not accusing the family of anything, I'm just frustrated. It's been a week almost! If he was snatched or is lying injured somewhere, it feels like time is running out. So I am feeling very anxious about the fact that there seems to be a bizarre silence and a seeming disinterest from local media, the family, this boy's church, etc. It feels like somebody close to this case needs to get some fire under them and get the ball rolling! Should have already been doing that since day one. Unless they just know something/figured something out that they refuse to share publicly.
