It shouldn't matter what they thought in the first few days--they should have been operating on the basis that they didn't know, all things were possible, they needed to record what was ephemeral, preserve where possible, guard from interference, and search too.JMO - I don't believe that Gary Jubelin thought that the FM was involved in William's disappearance when this was reported, but might help to explain the manner and angle ... in which William's sister was interviewed.:
“Jubelin said he doesn't think the full ramifications of William's disappearance were appreciated initially and opportunities were lost in the first few months. He said "very little leeway" was made later in the investigation, and often their inquiries moved them one step forward, two steps back.”

Edit: I don't want to slag off at those early responders. I've seen the notes of at least one of them, and it was long hard work, all over the place. Perhaps on the whole they did as well as could be expected with the resources they had.
