The amount of resources wasted on this thing is mind-boggling. All she had to do was make a call and she did not. There are no explanations for some people’s actions, and this is a prime example. Her now former boyfriend and her family are obviously tight, like many I suspect she wanted out of that relationship pretty bad... but I’m out of the assumption game for now.
I’m glad she’s alive but would sorta like to see a public flogging or something. When the Sheriff called and told me I was blown away. He said she didn’t have the decency to call in, they found her through “good old fashioned police work”. He also said there was nothing they could do to her for the immense resources that were wasted because she is now 18 and an adult has the right to leave without a trace if they choose to. It’s just absurd.
I’ve kept myself busy this morning handing back money that local folks have donated for the reward fund. Amazing how many people were willing to fork over cash in an effort to get her home.
Thanks for the help here guys.
