Answer

I would advise them to work very closely with the police and to consider the detectives' advice. I would advise them that public exposure should be channelled to one aim, finding out what has happened to your child. Having covered a few stories where parents have lost their children through death or abduction, I know some parents don't always behave rationally in these circumstances. But who would? I find it hard to imagine the strain these parents' must be going under.
