This is from from early on but I never saw this http://www.examiner.com/article/pol...ions-missing-idaho-toddler-deorr-kunz-jr-case
I have never seen a case where LE was so concerned with SM rumors. I don't see how SM gossip interferes with the search (although I can see how it would upset the family.) Can anyone come up with other examples of LE asking the public to stop gossiping on SM? I don't mean when people are actually threatening or harassing family members - just idle stranger chatter. I can't figure out if the Sheriff's office was trying to protect themselves, the family or acting as "protector" to get the family to trust them. Addressing rumors, most of which the general public knows nothing about, seems like a waste of valuable time to me. JMO
