I live about an hour from Pinon, there's a lot of desert waste land around there, sand for miles. I hate to say this but it would be convenient for someone to leave a body out there. I don't recall if there was ever a search party for her, perhaps early on they did. I'm not sure. Drones would help. I know the tribal police have very limited resources. Basically it falls on family and friends to organize a search. They need to keep an eye on that boyfriend, sounds very suspicious.
