Great post, and I agree. I don't think LE has taken this with a grain of salt. People have to remember, they had an awful lot to sort out first. They had to talk to family and friends, her boss (I would imagine they talked to him or her?). We also can't forget that she wasn't reported missing until Dec. 2nd- that put LE in a tough spot- a lot of time went by from when she was last heard from- the text to her work and her fiance. We don't even know if she sent those texts herself from Idaho or wherever they pinged from.
Has LE ever stated that the texts were from the Idaho area, or were they locally done? I missed a thread here because of work, so I am wondering if this was ever established.
Personally, I think LE has done a fantastic job. They haven't stopped trying to locate her, they checked her phone, have done press conferences, and now they have a warrant to check out PF's house and vehicle. Time was not on their side, in this case. JMO
