Also, there was a search warrant, but suspect was not responding to LE's efforts, which is why they breached the house.

@GoBuckeyes - the dog has NOT been reported to have been found - the wording in @truthfinder2019's post was subsequently clarified

Thank you, @AzPistonsGirl.

This is so sad

This is so sad

I'm wondering if they think the couple is still alive? And that explains the urgency of destroying the suspect's house to get inside??

IDK.

That looks like the Menard's house to the upper left of the suspect's house.

I really hope that is the case but him not coming out screams guilty and that he did something to them, especially if he knew they were going to destroy his house.

that is insane! I've never seen anything like this.

Is this the spot? (with the suspect's place with the wide tan roof, while the Menard's place with the teal roof, right above it? )
New Life Baptist Church to 26000 Keissel Rd

Yes, that looks like it to me.

I find this baffling. Why would he keep them alive? Or is it that LE thinks he might have dumped them somewhere...possibly alive?

I don't know! I'm clinging to hope, but it might not be realistic. I hope this ends soon!

This is a very helpful video.

Supposedly, the home is the boyfriend of the manager?

Per presser:
They have not located the Menards or the suspect. Area is locked down and he is not able to escape the area. LE was informed that he (suspect) is in the house. A tip came in that he was involved in the couple's disappearance, he is their next door neighbor. No name or age as of yet. They are conducting a remote search after the breaching of the house. Suspect is believed to live alone. Don't know if he is armed. Nothing as far as the Menards location or condition, canines including cadaver dogs have been searching.
(Typing as I listen, so please forgive any mistakes)

Wonder what is this suspect's background? The battering ram seems like an unusual step.

 

[Snoopster]

Taking a step back.... clearly LE believe this was foul play. And we are now 5 days out since they were last seen.

It's a very long shot at the point that the Menard's are alive. I hope they are. But I'd like to reach out a huge hug to anyone who was close to this couple. <hugs>

It seems strange to me that they would destroy the suspect's home. Wouldn't they want to keep it intact to get crime scene detectives out to search for evidence, blood stains, etc.?
