All the factions dispersed in the initial search and nobody thought to look in the brook? A total waste of taxpayer dollars.

First, we don’t know if it is him. Secondly, do you know for sure the Brook was not checked. Sad but this does happen. I stated a very similar situation of a nearby neighbor. Searched everywhere high and low, in and out, woods and water, him, buildings. Never to be found until many many many many months later on an area that was searched!
