You know who has been right about pretty much every case? OceanBlueEyes. Wonder what she thinks.

You are so right Gitana! I was just thinking that exact thing earlier.....I don't always agree with her opinion at first but OBE seems to get right to the crux of the matter and I've never known her to be wrong when I've followed the same case as her.

Paging OBE!
 
Set 'em up, barkeep.

Possibilities

.1. Abducted by person known to her; alive
.2. Abducted by person known to her; deceased
.3. Abducted by person unknown to her; alive
.4. Abducted by person unknown to her; deceased
.5. Murdered by person known to her; jog a red herring
.6. Hit by car; driver hid body
.7. Suicide
.8. Amnesia
.9. Hoax
10. Wilfully missing
11. Witness protection
12. Human traffickers
13. Space beings
14. Crafty clowns
15. None of the above; explain below

Select one or more, mix or match, solve this possible crime!

Well, I understand the poll is done but I'm weighing in anyway. 98% #4. The only thing that has me confused is the consistent sense that the family "knows" she has been taken by someone or is with someone. Of course, they may be engaging in "magical thinking" as certainly the alternative is worse. Therefore 1% #1 and 1% #10 which I'll call voluntary missing.

I've eliminated space beings because in my experience they would have taken the phone. I've also eliminated crafty clowns unless LE comes forward with evidence of large shoe prints, clumps of red hair, greasepaint and witnesses who've heard horn toots.
 
Well, unofficially, looking at the Possibilities poll, we either think she's dead or alive but definitely not being held by an abductor; if alive, there's a groundswell fthat there's been chicanery of one sort or another -- a misrepresenting of circumstances. We don't trust officialdom overmuch, either, and psychologically prefer to keep or eliminate our own suspects, thanks much. Everyone hopes, of course, everything will work out for the best. But we thumb our noses at peripheral issues and wish them not to be as they seem.

Not thumbing my nose, just ... in my opinion, the "peripheral issues" that have taken up the better part of 7 threads, are distractions. I tend to bulldoze over that, rather than wade through it. In 9 out of 10 cases, I form an opinion early and I stay there until something changes my mind. In this case, nothing has.
 
I find it frustrating that they stopped searching so quickly and decided she was no longer in the area. What do they define as the area?
I just don't get the lack of urgency from LE too.
Why are nt they asking if anyone saw her driving that. Orning, given a description of her car, plotted her day from when she got up.
It seems like they know who did it, and believe she is dead
 
Are we sure SP was married and divorced before? Or could it be someone in that county with the same name as there seems to be? Correct me if there was some info about beyond that court site re divorce.
 
I;m with you guys, and have been from after I watched the husband's videos with sound. (When I watched them without I wasn't sure yet). But I must admit there has been some odd stuff about this case.

Interesting you watched the video without sound. Never thought to do that, but it would make one focus differently.
 
Can you share what leads you to say 5 instead of 4? I'm equally split between the two.

It was my initial gut reaction from day one and that has not waivered. I've found that the best thing to do is sit and wait, let the case ride out. We'll see.

Explain what you mean when you say you think it could be a hoax, please. Does this mean you think her family knows where she is and they are acting like she is missing? For what reason? How would they pull something like this off for so long with LE actively investigating? I'm very curious what "hoax" means as I've seen a lot of people put this as one of their top options.

For me, hoax is on my list along with #10, #4, and #5.

As far as #9 hoax - if it is, then yes, I do think some family knows. The reason - there's a couple, neither of which can be discussed here because it's probably considered victim blaming. How would they pull it off for so long with LE actively investigating - we have no idea what LE knows. Just the two things they've stated - two weeks ago they didn't consider her husband a suspect and a couple of days ago they still didn't know if she left voluntarily. It leaves a lot up in the air.
 
I change my mind all the time, but currently leaning toward #10.
