Also worth noting as @johnestevens points out clip lacks context as Burley was approached by the volunteers who asked what had happened.

Also worth taking a second to remember how important the media and 24 hour news are in missing persons investigations.

Read @fieldproducer for opinions on the Kay Burley incident this morning. Highlights challenge of getting tone right on rolling news.
