Could the grandparents and friends organize a search of nearby fields and water areas? They could. But with what excuse? Why that field and that water area? Why not the one on the other street? What I mean they had no lead to do this or do that. But the grandparents at that moment were still believing or hoping that their daughter was telling the truth about the nanny? The only reason they had to start looking close to their home was when they found out that no nanny existed, no valid information of the child's whereabouts existed, so if they had to start from somewhere they were going to start from the nearby fields and rivers/lakes. And this is what the police is doing right now actually. Since they have no valid information from Casey they are cheacking nearby areas just in case.
I *think* if it was me in this situation I would have begged the public for help and contacted the groups that manage this type of thing and said I don't have any evidence of where to look but I can't just sit here waiting, lets grid search from my house outward. The people who chose to come would be volunteers with accurate info and the people who thought it was ridiculous wouldn't have to show up. I can't imagine just waiting. It is not an illogical starting point either considering Casey and Caylee lived there and it is the last place seen. I would probably suggest the Sawhill apts as the second choice since Casey claims she left her there.
I could be mistaken but didn't LE conduct an investigation at the Sawhll apartments? What would you have searchers do there? Pull up carpeting? Tear down walls?
LE was conducting a diving exercise and decided to search a body of water near the Anthony home. It was not, from what they say, based on any specific information. It was a matter of "we're going to do it anyway, might as well do it there".
EDIT TO ADD: I think any "group" you might contact would tell you that could not waste resources conduction random searches. There has to be something to go on.
