Online rumors and criticisms are hampering the investigation and efforts to find Park, and have led the Wexford County Sheriff’s Office to be “unable to share information” about the case, police said in a news release obtained by
WPBN/WGTU.
Extensive searches have been conducted in the area where Park was last seen, including by law enforcement and by volunteers, the release said. No additional evidence was found during either search. A new group, calling themselves a “recovery team” is now in the area but is not affiliated with law enforcement.
The sheriff’s office does not have evidence that Park was assaulted and is not in possession of bloody clothing, which has been rumored online, police said.
