My default position is always to give LE the benefit of the doubt, unless they give me reason to doubt them.
Is it possible that CID is being dismissive of the family's concerns?
Yes.
It's possible.
Do I think that's actually the case here?
No.
I do not.
I'm not seeing or hearing anything different from LE in this case than I've seen from LE in other missing person cases I've followed.
Not one thing.
I think CID is working this investigation.
They do not want to jeopardize or compromise this investigation in any way.
I think this is case of the family's perception being their reality.
I think their perception is skewed right now, for a number of reasons.
First of all, they're in a highly charged emotional state, which as I said, is understandable.
But emotions cloud perception.
I don't think that the family's perception of LE is necessarily the reality here.
Additionally, right now, here in the States, there's a definite subset of the population that's heavily invested in fostering an anti-LE sentiment.
The narrative being pushed by that anti-establishment subset is that LEAs are the enemy.
What I'm seeing objectively from the outside looking in, is that VG's family is being used to advance that agenda.
I'm not hopping on board that bus.
JMO.
