Yes, they were involved previously.
So the media shines the bright light and the Feds determine that is the case they should be involved in?
LE never looked outside the immediate area for her, so at what point did the Feds decide they should get involved? Was it when they received a telephone call from the Judge?
Oh I'm not worried about the FBI being involved. If there's an FBI office with detectives on salary sitting in an office in a town where there's a major search going on, I'd rather see them helping than not.
