I deleted my comments and suggestions out of respect for the family of the victim because by this point there was nothing anyone could do that would have made this a happy ending. You, "Shadar,"  "Clam Shovel," Richard A Schneider, and other critics, have had NOTHING constructive to offer. I note that eventually the park DID bring in dogs and call out CCSAR, so if my kibbitzing had any effect on accelerating a more robust response from the park I'm glad, but that should have been done Day One, not many days later. 

While these are common-sense tactics part of any serious search, I do not blame the park, because they are seriously underfunded by administrations that would rather spend trillions slaying monsters on the other side of the globe than actually helping alleviate suffering at home. I blame congress, Obama and Trump for this serious misappropriation of funds. These useless wars make us less safe, both by acts of violence against people who've done us no harm, and cuts at home.
