Human behavior is a very intricate and complicated thing. We have the "norm," the fringes of the norm, cultural norm, local norms, etc. We here are baffled, because a lot of this situation is outside of our "norm." This does not take into consideration personalities. familial norms, religious/spiritual custom. We recognize that getting together for a Thanksgiving Holiday with friends and family is customary. Concern about a loved one being out of communication is normal. Why the people involved in this, including LE are not responding with the same amount of angst as we are makes no sense to us. We're plugged in to these crimes and disappearances more than most, so our radar starts buzzing. And then, down the road, we have a sense of how this will end after this amount of time. I'm not sure what I'm really trying to say, except we are frustrated and puzzled about what is NOT HAPPENING here. MOO of course.
