it says in that cnycentral link that they are not sure this car is related. Is anyone seeing something different or just logically making the connection?

Captain Raub said the vehicle was discovered while searching for a trio that was missing reported missing from Tully, including a 5-year-old girl. State Police stressed their investigation is preliminary and, again, it is unclear if anyone is in the vehicle or if it is related to the search for the missing trio.

State police did not say if the vehicle recovery is related to a missing person alert they put out earlier Tuesday afternoon.

State police earlier Tuesday had sought the public's help in trying to find two women and a child who were last known to be driving to a barbecue on Song Lake in Preble on Monday. Song lake is about 3 miles from where police are working to recover a vehicle.

Missing are Jamie A. Bell, 34; Melissa M. Avery, 26; and Maryssa F. Houston, 5.

of course, we can make the connection but have to be careful and set a good example for new posters by not saying things that have not been reported.

Sadly, we can draw on all that we know and have learned here as we wait for official word. =(

Hmmm I wonder what the story is. It sounds fishy. I wonder who is the mom of the little girl.
I hope they are all found safe.
