I don't sense that anyone is pointing fingers, just expressing frustration over what appears to be possible faults in a response system. As a member of the emergency services community and a former SAR volunteer I feel we need to review lessons learned to avoid future repeated mistakes. I don't think any individual carries any blame for a tardy response, but the system might need review.

In any event, I am sincere in my desire for a happy ending to this.
