Without having to read back through a thousand threads, can someone tell me if the reports by Fox news that Shawn may have been in the truck when Ben was taken, is true? Not that it matters either way, just wondering if it was true.
The sheriff put out a statement on it. I will try to find the link for you. It is here somewhere.
Sheriff Toelke Thanks Media, Asks For Restraint
The Sheriff wrote an open letter to all media. Here is an excerpt:
"What has happened over the past several days, however, has turned joy in to frustration and at times anger from my perspective. Immediately following the suspect's arrest, the wrong person was published as the suspect in the Ownby and Hornbeck case. Since the arrest, many attempts have been made to obtain information about the facts of this investigation. These attempts have included offering money for information, deception, and speculation. Some of this information from sources, "close to the investigation" have been incorrect. Do not bother asking me what information is or is not correct."
Here is the link. This should answer your questions.
