Well its not like the DeKalb unit just inserted themselves - they were asked to do the search by TN authorities.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

No legitimate search org toots their own horns and inserts themselves into cases. That is red flag 101 in the search world --- Plenty claim they don't come in unless LE calls them but in reality the high profile ones many gravitate to and will indeed insert themselves and claim otherwise . I am surprised nobody has dug enough to see that this Sheriff did toot his own horn. He was one of dozens of teams that were brought in from 11 states with more than 5 resources in SAR that were utilized on this search -Sheriff was called in by a national org who did not inset themselves into this case but were requested by top law officials. Calling outside mounted teams not in typical network is not uncommon when you can't fly a horse to a location. You would expect more from a sheriff department so one would think. Again, goes to show the professionalism of those who were indeed brought in --- 99.9 % of the other teams present who did not send out press releases. This sheriff has NO jurisdiction and this was indeed a toot my horn moment as I said earlier the other 99.9 % of teams did not press release themselves out in this type of fashion.
BBM:It's a directly neighboring state. People just across the Alabama line have close ties with Tennessee, and vice versa.
So he tooted his own horn - so what? Every search team I've ever read about does that. TES does the same thing, and has hundreds of fans lined up to do it for them. Some of us are not as thrilled with them - they don't find everyone they are looking for - not even close. They didn't find Caylee Anthony and she was right there in the neighborhood. They apparently searched everywhere except in her own back yard. :twocents:
I actually applaud LE for bringing in some new eyes and horses on the ground. These folks may not have found Holly, but they searched a wide area that can be cleared. Knowing where someone is not is just as important as knowing where someone is. JMOO :cow:
BBM:
Maybe the sheriff knew a sheriff who knew another sheriff or whatever- that happens all the time. I think what it all comes down to, is desperation.
And trying to clear or confirm cleared areas.
The DeKalb unit was ASKED to search as they were a mounted unit not available in Henderson or Darden. They didnt just think of going and searching there on their own.
I think maybe you misunderstood my post? That's what I meant. It is very common for LE from different jurisdictions to share resources when local resources have been exhausted, or are simply not available.
Yeah sad but what are people supposed to post on? Honestly every possible thing has been beat to death in the last year...
I am sure this will spark a debate but there is nothing new to report and I think this is a worthwhile question.
Had Holly had a locator chip implanted would she be alive now as well as hundreds of other missing children/persons?
I would have no problem losing a little privacy. It also would be such a useful tool in dementia seniors who wander off.
Ok...here we go!!:bigfight:

Chip GPS trackers aren't possible with current technology because of the battery limitations. They can't make a battery small enough to implant, and it has to be recharged...think of your cellphone battery.
The GPS trackers sold now for children or the elderly with dementia, or problems like that, are pretty much cellphone sized or fairly bulky wristwatches. They could be easily removed from the abducted (unless it's a watch type and the abductor doesn't realize it).
The implanted pet chips just identify the pet if it goes to a shelter or vet and is scanned, they don't track.
Oh yeah, it will definitely happen someday, although it may take quite a while. Just not possible now.We went to the moon...surely there is a way it can be done. Maybe not in our lifetime but someday...
that missing person news site looks legit to me and i for one am happy to see someone brave enuff to post something. JMO
