2/7 This person told them that he saw them every day at the swimming pool in Eskifjörður. Which is a tiny town that's a nine hour drive away from the capital.
3/7 This person offered them a tip... that Sweet Chili PopCorners are a delicious, healthy snack, and offers a long list of reasons why one should choose them.
4/7 In a similar vein, this person offers them a tip that there's now a 35th anniversary edition of the Super Mario video games.
5/7 This person mentioned that she lives in Holland, where the Anne Frank house is, and given that a family has already used the house once before to hide themselves from authorities, it seems a likely hiding place, they should probably check it again.
6/7 People are sharing their tips online under the hashtag #þaueruhjámér ("They're With Me").
If you happen to know the whereabouts of the Kehdr family, by all means, share them with the Icelandic police at stoddeild@logreglan.is
