It is just unusual for a missing person to go unmentioned. I understand that the heat complicates search efforts but something had to make them suspend searches on that 9th day. IF they thought she was out there lost or hurt I don't believe they would have done that. And I don't know if LE is concerned, they just don't seem concerned, no press conferences, no pleas to find her or call in with tips like we see in many other missing person cases.
BBM:
That's just it, though:
After 9 days, LE didn't think BT was lost or hurt out there in the desert.
If BT was out there in that desert for 9 days, she was dead.
I hate to state it that bluntly, but that's the stark reality.
LE conducted a thorough search of the area and found no trace of her in that location. None whatsoever.
Logically, it didn't make sense for LE to continue searching, given they had no evidence of her being there.
I think LE has reached the conclusion that she's not in that search area.
At this point, I think LE's questioning whether or not she ever was in that location.
I'm absolutely certain that LE is very, very concerned about what's happened to BT.
The fact that they're remaining extremely tight-lipped, is telling.
When LE was out in the desert searching, their efforts to locate BT were highly visible.
I don't think the investigative work LE's doing now is going to be nearly as visible to the public eye.
Lack of visibility should not be mistaken for lack of activity on their part, however.
I have no doubt LE's still working diligently to find BT.
