I do not understand why the main daily paper, the Austin American Statesman, has only a short article updated last on 12/13 for this very concerning and upsetting case - and no comments on it.
At least Nancy Grace has picked it up and no matter how one might feel about her, she gets the news spread to sleuthers quickly.
I'm still STUNNED but NOT surprised, at that do-nothing presser. The lack of photos has me appalled. Whether voluntarily gone or not, whether SC was involved or not, there should have been pics there showing her and their family unit so that people could see and maybe think, "Hey, I saw them..." and the case could get that one great tip. MOO, always MOO.
As lacking as Dulce's press coverage has been, at least it was better than this. And hers has me very upset because it just seems to be a big shrug about it up there. Although the wall-to-wall coverage when Jamie C went missing didn't lead to her rescue (she rescued herself, brave girl), at least the woman she ran up to was aware of who she was and no time was lost in getting her to safety!
Okay I'm starting to spiral out at this point. Sorry. Just upset.
I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but from my perspective, that presser really was par for the course in terms of LE missing person pcs.
It ran pretty true to form.
As a point of comparison, I just rewatched the initial press conference by Woodland PD after Kelsey Berreth went missing.
*Here's a link to the presser in that case for comparison purposes only, NOT a pc regarding this case:
Aside from the fact that KB's mom spoke briefly at the press conference in that case, the messaging from LE was remarkably similar to what we just heard from APD.
It was even approximately the same length, around 10 minutes or so.
In the Kelsey case, that pc was held on December 10th.
LE stated they had no suspects at that time.
They arrested the moron Frazee for murder on December 21st, a mere 11 days later.
LE rarely admits they have a POI or suspect.
Especially when they actually have a POI or suspect.
They have one in this case, too....or I'll eat my beanie, the fact that I don't actually own a beanie, notwithstanding.
JMO.
