Actually, did it?

Everything I read said the person who trailed him got his plate numbers. That lead cops to his dads house, who then told them the truck belonged to his son. They then showed up at his house.

Not trying to bag on the Alerts, but it doesn't sound like they provided much help in this case.

The initial evidence was what lead to the case being solved.

The Amber alert is why it was taken seriously and huge resources being poured into checking every lead...

According for the Amber Alert to be issued the criteria to be met is sufficient identification, witnesses and thought of imminent danger. I would suspect that the hold up had more to do with identification of the child, but I'm not certain.

Point is the system works, but like anything else, it is not perfect nor can ever be.
Seems the identity of the child would be the least important piece of information in that situation, especially when then other two elements, which IMO are far more important, were immediately met in this case.

They system may "work", and may not ever be perfect, but it certainly seems like it could use some significant improvements.

agreed.

The afternoon on fox 4 local they questioned the response time for alerts. They said a study reveal the average time it takes to issue the alert is just over 4 hours.

They went on to state that the window of opportunity to save from bad happening is on average 1-3 hours per a national study.

So yes I would say the amber alert system needs some major overhauling.

Stop it.

It's probably helping things to quote it over and over.

J Diddy 02-21-2014 01:09 AM
Good point. I'm never quoting again!

Unfortunately it's true, she used to be anyway...she cleaned up a few years ago. Hailey is actually my niece by marriage, her mom is my ex wife's step sister. I still consider her my niece though and she didn't know any differently.

That is unfortunate, but I felt the comment had no place in this thread. I hope you and all else who knew her are holding up as best as possible.
