As far as continuous local coverage---we really don't have any tv stations that have continuous news coverage, just the major ones. Fresh news comes out on the radio at top of the hour. Law enforcement keeps investigations close to the vest. This is described as a rural area but our school system is fairly large. Kids in the high school can be in the same grade, but have never met when they graduate. Elizabeth's residence is on the outskirts of Jefferson City and in JC school system. I have lived here 17yrs with 4 kids having graduated from school here. I don't know anyone from the area where Elizabeth lived. So it is a little hard for some of locals to find out anything too. Its a big enough area to not know a lot of stuff going on, but small enough law enforcement is not going to let anything out because it could get to people involved in the case. I am sure there are a lot of people who know all people involved but they would be talking among themselves and not on a website. So hope this helps answer the question about why there is not much out and where are the locals.
