IMO - IF MR or ER called in a tip on the tip line, then I would be very suspect of them. They have the inside connection. The only reason for either of them to call a tip to the tip line would be to intentionally divert the investigation.
With that being said, MR or ER can directly contact LE, either of them can say, hey this guy told me that his neighbor was talking about a suspicious hispanic male he saw on 11/19. LE would ask for the name & number of the "guy" and get in touch with the "neighbor" and check it out. LE is NOT going to discount a tip that the parents of a missing child reported. They may not investigate each tip the parent gives, out of pure absurdity, but they will not discount a tip from anyone.
As far as whether or not the FMDR page has this new info posted, WTF cares one way or another? The fb pages have gotten so out of hand it's absurd and worse than watching 4 yr olds fight over a toy. I personally could care less what any of the fb pages puts up in regards to media, tips, opinions, finger pointing, accusation dodging, all of it.
In regards to the PI and Dr. Phil, both ER & MR have been in the damned if I do, damned if I don't arena for far too long. Both are being chastised for not doing something and then being chastised for doing something. Heck, neither one of them can catch a break from anyone. IMO, I would not hire or employ or accept the services of a PI that post information on fb, that goes for both MO & BB. I find that very unprofessional, highly unethical and just plain absurd. It's all MOO, whomever either of them employs, I would personally hope that they at least aide in the investigation and do not interfere with investigation. As far as Dr Phil goes, if the objective is to find your son, you are offered free national exposure, take it. Nobody, not even the great all mightly Dr. Phil, can make you say something you don't want to, take a LDT if you don't want to or argue with someone you don't want to.
Have you ever had a one-sided argument? If the other person doesn't participate the other person looks like a fool.
All IMOO.
