It was very confusing, because the headlines said that they were looking for the couple out chopping wood who last saw Serenity, at Foster Gulch, which is 5 or 6 miles to the southwest. But Serenity was last seen heading north along S. Rockerville Rd., so that didn't make sense. They did find the couple, but it turns out that (1) they never saw Serenity, only a searcher, and (2) it was actually on Foster Gulch Rd. That makes more sense, because Foster Gulch Rd. intersects S. Rockerville Rd. a mile or so north of the Home. So if the wood cutters were at or near that intersection, and if Serenity has stuck with the road and headed north, it is conceivable that they could have seen her.
We don't know exactly where the couple was, but it makes sense that they were close by, since they did see a searcher.
But MSM was wrong. Even their headline reported they had seen Serenity, when in fact they had not.
For example:
UPDATE: Investigators speak to couple who saw missing 9-year-old
That headline reads: "UPDATE: Investigators speak to couple who saw missing 9-year-old" but it was later revealed that they never saw her. There were other similar headlines.
