I believe there was confusion because the Amber Alert was issued at 9:30 - she had called earlier than that. There as an article I read last night that stated this. It was stupid because the article said it was "strategy" on the part of LE because they "didn't want to be overwhelmed with information". WTF?????:banghead: I will see if I can find the article.
Here is the artcle and a section snipped by me:
"Patrol responds by like 3:30 p.m. and they're there from 3:30 to 4:15 or so," Harris said. The family was told to go to HPD's station on Mykawa Road to file an official missing child report with the juvenile division. Officers there entered details about Jonathan into the national crime information center database about 9:30 p.m., Harris said. He explained that the decision to hold off issuing an Amber Alert for Jonathan until Tuesday evening was a deliberate strategy by investigators.
Police knew that without a vehicle type or suspect description, a vague alert would generate a flood of information, some of it potentially useful, but much of it simply overwhelming, he said."
