JM didn't just speak one time, to one news source. He spoke multiple times with different news agencies. And every single one has him identified as an "uncle," info that would have come from him. So whether he's her uncle or not, he's identifying himself as such.
His interview with KGUN on that Saturday shows him being VERY active in the search on the very Saturday she went missing. Here's the video and article:

Here he is talking to ABC News:

Here he is talking to CBS on Sunday. Please watch this video. He is actually seen talking with LE and directing them with a pointed finger:

He also spoke to KVOA, and I'm sure to other stations, too. This was just from a quick search.
Point: He was the "spokesperson" over multiple days, and seemed to be everywhere, handing out fliers, giving interviews, directing LE. And these are all different interviews, not one taped appearance.
And I firmly believe that was him at the neighbor's door at 8 a.m. asking about Isabel, aka what had she seen or heard?
NG and JVM reported that he used to live in the home.
I think the parents unwittingly let a predator in...
IMO, it is not so much that JM spoke to ABC, CBS etc., it is more that ABC, CBS etc., used the local media video (KVOA) on their shows.
