Mysterious disappearance of UFO-linked Air Force general sparks search

[Mendel]

Sure seems like the press should ask.
I mean, I'm all for respecting someone's medical privacy...but this is an emergency...

How would that help?
Alzheimers patients walk towards water, dementia victims prefer high places, while heat stroke sufferers can usually be found in the dark?
All this means is that, unlike a lost hiker, the missing person cannot be counted on to act rationally.

its not gallows humor. she's unamused at all the conspiracy theories and misinformation when her real life husband is missing.

That's an alternative interpretation, but gallows humor is frequently sarcastic/ironic in tone. Either or both are possible explantation.
Also I did not say it was. Just putting some numbers to the grim reality of the situation she's facing at this point in the search. Law enforcement cannot be expected to maintain this level of effort indefinitely.

I can certainly understand her being very annoyed at false claims being made.

That said, it just seems too soon, while the search is still on, for sarcasm.

It kind of distracts and may confuse some people.
