I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation at all. I wish locals would call the Sheriff's office every single day requesting an update, send them emails, flood their facebook page with requests. It's easier to ignore one or two random questions spread out over time than it is to ignore a large group of voices who refuse to give up until they get some answers. IMO, the silence in this case is disturbing, confusing, and beyond ridiculous. If not for WS and the J4J page, Jennifer's name would not be out there at all right now. Everyone would have moved on and forgotten about it long ago, which I know is the hope of a few select parties.
That said, I'm not anywhere close to local, so there is little I can do other than make the suggestion.
