Case frame
An active child alert demands a stricter source boundary.
The responsible record begins with TBI, NCMEC, and the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office. Tip totals and public theories do not become proof, and repeated speculation can interfere with an active investigation.
Research boundary
Check sources. Do not intervene.
Do not submit a tip based only on a video, social post, or theory. TBI asks for credible, firsthand information. Do not contact the family or people discussed online.
