Not liking this, but hoping she is happily back in the van with her husband, and they are on the road again.

The husband reported last seeing her on the 24th. She is then seen on the 27th, 3 days later, on video at a Target, pulling what looks to be a small suitcase behind her. I'm guessing she left him 3 days before the CCTV shot of her. Where is she now though - hopefully someplace safe.
