Why did it take over 24 hours to issue an amber alert

for this missing girl in Sarasota, Florida? I would have someone's ass for this incompetent, stupid decision. That is the whole purpose of the amber alert--what good is it gonna do if they don't get that alert out there as soon as possible. :mad::argh:

Bush said he has asked the FDLE to investigate why it took the sheriff's office 24 hours to issue an Amber alert. Sheriff's officials have said they didn't immediately issue the alert because they were not yet certain the child was missing. The alert was issued once they obtained the videotape.
