2:21 am and no new updates.
For those, who are new to missing person cases. This does NOT mean the work is stopping. Moves are being made behind the scenes.
Our LE has a process they have to follow. Sadly, many adult cases, unless it’s clear they are in danger, take time.
The family is still out looking as I write this. I have come to learn they are warriors and so strong during this. As I say that, Amy has amazing friends that are considered family and they are the same!
But look at the community we have built in such a small amount of time. Y’all are amazing as well.
I know we have more questions than answers, but as time goes on, we will know more. Sadly, as time goes on, it’s more heartbreaking and scary. Thank you to those who have been supportive. Every group has some bad apples, but it doesn’t jade the impact and help y’all are bringing.
