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. Posted via Mobile Device |

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

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. Last edited by srvy; 02-20-2014 at 06:48 PM.. |

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

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.
