I was able again to watch the live presser. And, again, this was an interesting conference. I am not certain I believe that the principle's choice of words earlier were as simple as a miscommunication or, rather, a "misuse of words." However, if they feel they need to keep this close to the vest, then who am I to question them?
The comment about the family speaking out tomorrow made me feel uncomfortable. My gut instinct tells me that LE knows who Kyron is with, but possibly not where he is being kept. And, even if they're not sure of the person, this leads me to believe that they have much more information than what is being given out at this time. The way I felt about Gates stating that the family would be speaking tomorrow was almost as if he were talking to whomever has Kyron. I could be completely off base here, but that's where my head is at. And, that's a good thing because I'm beginning to wonder if they know Kyron is, at this point, still alive. And, that is cause of relief because I have been having an increasing feeling over the last day or two that Kyron was no longer with us.
Also, the comment that he would like to see this case "wrapped up" by the end of the week is also odd. How can someone put a time-stamp on a situation such as this one? Of course, we are all hoping Kyron will be found immediately. But, to use the words that he did made it seem as though the entire case would be wrapped up by the end of the week -- meaning Kyron is found and an charges are filed. It was an interesting choice of words and I'm not completely sure how I am reading into his statement as of yet.
All in all, I feel like LE has information about who Kyron may be with, but not information on his exact location. They're being very tight-lipped and I can only hope that it is to protect Kyron and any other involved persons (ie. family). I do not feel the family is involved...at all. But, I think LE knows who is. I can't help but feel that a lot of these pressers are being used as smoke screens to cover what is actually happening in this investigation. And, yes, I strongly feel we are dealing with a criminal investigation.
I truly hope that this case will be "wrapped up" by the end of the week. And, I hope that Kyron is located safe and sound as soon as possible with whomever took him being charged in short order. I feel a bit "taken" by the tug-of-war of information that is being released and held back. But, LE and the FBI know what they're doing. And, just like Kyron's family, all we can do right now is trust that.
