Whoa, several unsubstantiated allegations there IMHO.
"a better job" - not necessarily but I think the family believes that any extra effort may make a difference. Surely you have more chance of finding someone if there are 300 people looking instead of 30?

"Gung-ho, outside the law". Outside what law? I note the posting asks searchers to register themselves.

I think this is a concerned family trying to do anything they can to maximise the chances of finding him. Good luck to them.
