I was curious about MT's former high school. Less than a week ago, the BMGCS District was looking for a new English teacher and a full time cook:

Short notice, since school starts 8/23 for the students; teachers needed to be in last week:

Normally teachers give notice around May, unless something very serious happens over the summer, such as a family emergency. It seems odd that a small school (257 students in grades 7-12) would still be looking for two important co-workers so close to the start of the term.
Did key personnel leave because they were distraught over MT's disappearance, or has the school had an influx of new students, thus needing more support? Did someone leave abruptly? What about other businesses in the area--any sudden departures?
