So that’s just it? No more? How sad

A few elements of this case which impress me,
- family has openly and without judgment acknowledged a mental health crisis and continues to do so
- searches continue, resolute
- there is a caring underscoring this case among commenters here and elsewhere - a strong sense that this woman will be found/recovered and that effort will not wane until that day

This case reminds me a little of Lara Emanuele in NJ, though investigators have less video and clear evidence to go on. Female, age bracket, recent difficulties, loyal friends etc.

I hope for the best!
