My opinions only, no facts here:
The official line is that on the morning of the abduction, Holly's mother knew that Holly's boyfriend was out hunting and far away, but Holly's brother did not know this detail. That could explain why the mother was immediately terrified and the brother was not.
I have been away from Websleuths for awhile, because in the absence of new information, I decided to focus on where to look for Holly if this is indeed a homicide. I earlier favored an area about a mile north of Holly's house. I am now becoming equally interested in Bible Hill proper.
On another tangent, I believe that at some point, the withholding of information from the public actually decreases the chances of solving a case. And the point at which this occurs is when witness memories begin to fade. For example, if investigators had the report of a vehicle of a certain model and color, it will do very little good to release that info 5 years from now. Frankly, I think it is already too late for a release of information, but strangely... this case is still solvable.
Good Post. Especially the part I bolded above, as I think at the very beginning when LE got there, that is exactly what they needed to do. Grab their guns and go in and get her, darn it. The whole...."wait on dogs, protect the investigation, keep people from trampling on tracks--this part from witness no less!!", is a bunch of crap because they got there literally minutes after it supposedly happened, so run in there and try to get her back, darn it.
I just cringe when I hear ......"witholding info to protect the investigation"...........because until you get her back, nothing matters. Look at it this way......So what if you have enough info to prosecute someone......If she never comes back or is never found, what good is that?
I've always said to find her first is the main priority, and to release all you know from the get go is very important to help find her. So, all this withholding of info and secrecy, and changing stories.......of course it makes one suspicious of things.
Sorry, end rant.
