I think back and LE has used the word property quite a few times in this search - asking the public to search their "property" numerous times. Never once in previous uses of the word did I think "building" I thought - "the piece of real estate you own/rent/manage in it's entirety."
If CNN hadn't reported that she was found in an "abandoned structure" it would have never crossed my mind to use property and building interchangeably. For me it's kind of a leap to assume property means structure, so I hope CNN has an inside source that makes it more credible than just their interpretation of the PC.
BBM - Several of us here believe that Jean C. probably has a source for this as she is not cavalier with her facts. Funny how words mean different things to different people, though. To me, the word "abandoned" almost implies a structure because it means at one point it was occupied. I guess land that isn't being farmed or the grass isn't being cut could be considered "abandoned" but that is not the way my brain works....one thing we can count one is that this is one question that WILL be answered - probably rather soon!
