I like the way Isabelle doesn't mess around spreading rumors, but tries to get information directly from LE.

Quote from article:
On Monday Kristen Helm, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), responded to this Examiner.com news writer's email saying, "To reiterate what the Director [of TBI] said, no one has been ruled out at this time.

“However, the focus of law enforcement developing a suspect is outside immediate friends and family.

"Both Clint and Drew have been helpful and cooperative throughout the investigation. Clint, is being treated as an eye witness at this time,” Helm said.

Helm told FoxNews.com Monday, “We’re trying to develop a person of interest who maybe missed work or missed an appointment unexpectedly that day.”

This case has been interesting to say the least. I think the hardest part is that there hasn't been a "spokesperson" from LE giving updates. Therefore, rumors and speculation have ran rampant. Watching the mother during the family portion of the press conference was difficult. This is how I would expect a grieving mother to act (not like some of the other mothers out there right now - Billie Dunn, Terri Horman). So very sad!
 
As the search for Holly Bobo moves into day 6 the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations made a few announcements Monday: (1)They need more volunteers to come search Tuesday; (2) this is not a hoax; (3) they want people in the community to think about anything peculiar that happened since Holly went missing; and (4) the governor has tripled the reward amount.

During Monday’s press conference TBI Director Mark Gwyn announced that Governor Bill Haslam has increased the reward for information on the whereabouts of Holly Bobo to $75,000.

Gwyn said as of Monday there is no person of interest in the case.

Investigators went door-to-door asking neighbors near Holly’s home if they saw anything the day she disappeared, Gwyn told reporters Monday afternoon. Another 30 leads came in Monday, bringing the total of leads to about 280, he said.

Rumors run rampant as search for Holly Bobo drags on

Officials said strong storms late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning put a damper on the search for missing nursing student Holly Bobo, possibly washing away evidence.

[snip]

Still, it seems a terrible rumor caused more damage than the storm.

"Rumors were just rampant," TBI Director Mark Gwyn said earlier this week. "All kinds of off the wall rumors that we had her. And this is an emotional time for the family."
