I agree, a real opportunity was lost early on with the narrow focus on the "drowning" and "disoriented and got lost" theories, but that the focus has now shifted in more productive directions. But authorities must reach out to the public. In its first 5 days, Brooke Wilberger’s website recorded more than 60,000 hits. Webmaster, do you have the tally for Josh? Regarding the search for Brooke, officials announced today that more than 1200 community volunteers participated in the first 6 days, searching more than 1800 acres. Most of the 140 registered sex offenders in Benton County (OR) have been interviewed and investigators have started the process with Linn County’s more than 550 offenders. More than 1000 tips have been received and authorities have identified persons of interest and "significant" interest. Police are contacting new individuals as they are identified and recontacting individuals as new information is received. A tipline email address has now been established. Wow!
