Great Post, nomoresorrow!
I don't think it is comparing apples and oranges at all SS. The LE in Satsuma, could also work the case as a murder investigation at the same time as a missing child investigation.
I perfectly understand why they would not waste time or money searching areas outside the immediate crime area. There is no reason to without a tip.
Has every square inch of the immediate area in a radius of one mile been eliminated?
