[Scan-DC] Vanishing in Midair, where's Trooper 2?

[Brian Rokus]

For those who might not have read the entire article, this is arguably one of the most interesting tidbits:

 

"Instructions to searchers came from an array of communications centers, with many calls made on cellphones rather than radio channels to tamp down public disclosure of the search. Other updates went out over channels only troopers can monitor, leaving out many county officers and fire crews."
