Bonney Bowman, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said "she is not aware of any law enforcement agencies advising Fravel not to attend news conferences or organized searches for Kingsbury".
There very well may have been someone with LE that did tell AF this, that Bonney is not aware of.
If AF was told not attend news conferences or organized searches due to his safety, why isn't he asking LE for the video tape showing when, where and by who he was told that, to prove he is not lying? (Not that any news agency would air it)
I would think every interaction by LE with AF was recorded and saved for future use.
