18 MONTH OLD EVELYN BOSWELL IS STILL MISSING. YESTERDAY THE SEARCH SHIFTED
FROM HER HOME STATE OF
TENNESSEE TO HERE IN WILKES
COUNTY. BUT STILL THERE WAS
NOTHING FOUND AS THE SEARCH
CONTINUES MANY PEOPLE ARE
TURNING TO FACEBOOK AND SOCIAL
MEDIA TO HELP SPREAD AWARENESS
AND POSSIBLE TIPS ABOUT WHERE
SHE COULD BE. PROBLEM IS YOU
CAN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING
THAT YOU SEE ONLINE. MISSING 15
MONTH OLD EVELYNS BOSWELLS NAME
HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN NEARLY
18000 POSTS SINCE SHE'S
DISAPPEARED. LAW ENFORCEMENT
SAYS GETTING THE WORD OUT ABOUT
EVELYNS IS GREAT BUT SOME OF
THE POSTS JUST AREN'T TRUE.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
SHARING INFORMATION ON SOCIAL
MEDIA THAT'S NOT ACCURATE AND
IT'S NOT FACTUAL. AND IN SOME
CASES THAT CAN HINDER THE
INVESTIGATION. THE FACT THAT
THERE IS SUCH LOW BARRIERS TO
ENTRY INTO SOCIAL MEDIA
CONVERSATIONS MEANS THAT ANYONE
CAN INTERJECT AND SPECULATE AND
THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR THOSE
STORIES WHETHER THEY'RE REAL OR
NOT TO CATCH ON AND BE SPREAD
NOT ONLY ARE POSSIBLE TIPS
BEING LOST AMOUNG FAKE STORIES
BUT THE REAL ONES AREN'T MAKING
IT TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAN
INVESTIGATE OUR PLATFORMS ARE
NOT MONITORED 24/7.
ADDITIONALLY THEY'RE NOT SET UP
TO RECEIVE CRIME RELATED
INFORMATION TRUE AND CONFIRMED
INFORMATION WILL COME FROM
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HANDLING
THE INVESTIGATIONS AND LOOK AT
LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS LIKE HERE AT
WFMY. GET THE INFORMATION
DIRECTLY FROM THOSE AGENCIES.
