I have heard parents say they were relieved to see so much help flooding in looking for their child. It is not about being relieved the child needs to be searched for, obviously.He was asked what time he got there and to explain what he did and what he saw. I didn't detect any anger in his voice or demeanor. In fact he always seems to talk in a similar tone and I haven't seen much emotion at all.
He never said it was "an inconvenience," just that he couldn't decide where to drive and the whole road was bottlenecked and described people getting there with their trailers, etc. He had probably never seen anything like it since living there.
I think it was just vivid in his mind because this was the beginning of a traumatic event, probably the worst thing anyone can imagine. I would expect him to be frustrated. If he had said, "I was relieved because so many people were there and the road was blocked off," then people would say that he wasn't upset at all that his daughter was missing and how could he say he was relieved? It was the beginning of a nightmare. There wasn't much to be pleased or grateful about.
We can agree to disagree. I still feel that he was being very negative towards LE and the 1st responders, for 'clogging' up the road. And I still find that an odd complaint because they were there to investigate the disappearance of his child. JMO
