Found Deceased IL - Emily Anderson, 25, Loves Park, 19 June 2017

[Vail]

Her car could have been moved early in the morning while it is getting light out but depending on the area within the Rockford area too early for many commuters to be out and about. Sunrise on June 19th was 5:20am. So it isn't necessarily the case that darkness restricts potential areas.

I guess when I was thinking of the cover of darkness, I was thinking about something bad happening to her between 3-5am and the perp wanting to dump the body, not so much the car being seen but you are absolutely right - for all we know she is still in the car somewhere. The fact that her car hasn't been found makes me increasingly fearful though - someone that thinks it through enough to hide the car too is someone that probably did a good job of hiding Emily.

I guess when I was thinking of the cover of darkness, I was thinking about something bad happening to her between 3-5am and the perp wanting to dump the body, not so much the car being seen but you are absolutely right - for all we know she is still in the car somewhere. The fact that her car hasn't been found makes me increasingly fearful though - someone that thinks it through enough to hide the car too is someone that probably did a good job of hiding Emily.

I am hoping that finding her car will either lead LE to her (or she is with the car) or to a person or persons that know what happened to her. While I know she has a number of people looking for her and her car I don't know if they are checking or have checked everything. I brought up earlier about the parking garages where you either need to pay or be a guest, employee, or student. I did so because there is no shortage amongst the people looking for her that don't have two nickels to rub together as you see them either needing gas money, their phone is shut off because they have run out of money, etc. Also, there may be an assumption that people who use the garages would notice the car or that someone wouldn't park a vehicle there. So, for example, a hospital parking garage (which is open around the clock usually) would be a good place to leave a car because there are too many cars that come in and out of there that nobody that works there pays much attention or they never go all the way to the top of the garage, etc. Is there long-term parking at the airport? Are there any Park N Ride lots?

So, I worry about assumptions searches may make at the expense of absolute thoroughness. I am not being critical of their efforts by any means. It is human nature to make decisions based on assumptions and especially when there is a perceived or actual risk based on time which certainly was/is the case here. I am glad that they are taking a more organized approach. I would hope that they have engaged SAR groups in the area but I don't see clear evidence that they have.

Since the reward hasn't caused anyone to come forth with information they should probably reduce the reward and re-purpose some of that money to obtain some search assistance. Buy some time from someone with a plane, perhaps, that can look for a vehicle as just one example. Yesterday, in Saline County (far south Illinois 5/6hrs from Rockford) a road crew doing mowing along a road discovered a car with a body in it in a ditch that could not be seen from the road. From reports the car had been there for some time e.g. not a very recent accident. That story illustrates just how hard it may be to find her car or her.

Our airport is so tiny, im sure a car would be noticed over all this time easily. If you check the amount of flight to and from you would understand how small the parking lot is.

Wish a family member would come on here as a VI, id like to help more locally when I have time.

I'm friends with a friend of the family and have reached out twice. Nothing so far 😕

Oh, I understand. But I hope you realize that is an example of exactly what I am talking about when it comes to assumptions and searching.

If everyone were to make the same assumptions - parking is small, not many flights, someone would notice - and not even look there then it can be a problem. The things I threw out there were only examples of places - places where many people would assume others would notice a car parked for a prolonged period of time when in reality almost nobody pays any attention to any of the cars parked there. Really, they don't.

Naturally, she or her car may not be anywhere near Rockford either.

Is that from last month or current?

Interesting to note the Emily's Namus missing page has her last known whereabouts at 3:23 am which I think is almost an hour after it was reported she was seen at Steak N Shake, unless I have that wrong. Hopefully, they have gotten some new information, then.

 

[Linz1183]

Just to follow up with previous post, it still reports Steak N Shake as the last place she was seen.

 

[Vail]

I believe the namus info was entered before they knew the Walmart sighting was false, it just took a little bit to show up or get published.

New leads. See comments https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?....138121986221746.17284.100000718363956&type=3

[h=1]The search for Emily Anderson continues 7 weeks after she went missing[/h]

Today was the third weekend search party and friends of Anderson and community members will not give up searching until Anderson is home. "The people we do have search tirelessly and they do not give up. They come back week after week just because their concerned. Mainly, if their daughter, if their friend, if their granddaughter you know, if their loved one was missing they would want someone else to search for them too,” said friend of Anderson, Rachael Kersch Libowski.

Kersch Libowski asks for those who own large areas of land to please search around the perimeter for any clues and to call the Loves Park Police with any information.

I noticed in her Instagram interests that she seems to be heavily into BDSM. Could this have possibly been a meetup with someone from that community that got incredibly violent and ended badly? I sure hope not. Just a thought though.

Such a sad case. Hoping for the best.

 

[SpanishMossAntiques]

That's pretty doubtful. I had been heavily involved in the BDSM community for 12 years, and during that time everyone I met was respectful. In fact, I'd say I felt safer with that crowd than just going on a regular date, ya know??

More than likely she drove off the road and into one of the many ponds out there.

I think everything is still on the table as far as what happened here with Emily.

 

[Jenjen37]

You never know. There's usually a couple bad apples in every group. It could of also been an accident like breath play went farther than it should have. Jmo

I thought the same thing.. but IMO I think Yingying and her are connected somehow.. only on the victim end, of course. That BC guy was into BDSM as well. I am probably totally wrong, but FBI is involved? Just doesn't sit right with me. If they are connected in any way, they are looking too close to home for her car. Praying for the best outcome here.
All IMO, of course.

I tried to go back and look to see if he may be on her friends list but i couldn't find her sm.

I could be completely off base and I don't want that to be taken as an insult to her or anyone in the community. Accidents happen in every facets of life. And psychos insert themselves into every facet of life. I don't think it's wrong to say that there is a small percentage of sociopaths in the BDSM community just as there is a small percentage of sociopaths across every community, interest groups, genders, races, etc.

I'm not discrediting the idea that the majority of people that have this as a hobby are good people.

Bob Wykel's case comes to mind. He was on a Disappeared episode and eventually was murdered by someone who appeared to show a common interest in vintage cars (although the supposed murderer was just a con artist). Case in point? Myron Wynn was convicted of murder 15 years later and it all centered around the purchase of a vintage car.

Maybe authorities can look into her online profiles that were a part of the community?

I don't know why and I know it happens but I personally always dismiss the idea of one driving into waterways or lakes/ponds unnoticed. The amount of commotion that would cause would surely be noticed by someone.

This is all my own opinion. And I know it can be a bit ignorant of me to assume that this doesn't happen. I just don't think that's the case here.

As far as a chop shop goes; the car parts could've not been the motive, but the chop shop was just used to dispose of the car. I doubt there's a large market for parts of her car, although there might be as I believe Pontiac is since bankrupted and out of business which makes acquiring their parts more difficult.

I hope this is some sort of misunderstanding and she is found safe!

While the FBI could be involved to chase down potential trafficking leads, I have a feeling it is more about the proximity to the Wisconsin border. I don't think there is any connection to YingYing. I haven't asked msobrien to take a look yet, but when I did some digging on fetlife just in case, Emily wasn't anyone I could recognize. I don't think Emily was actually that sophisticated in her involvement in terms of being part of underground forums and things of that nature.

I have so many thoughts and scenarios about what I think could have happened to Emily, but just don't think we have even the most basic details about the week leading up to her disappearance, or even about what happened during and after work or who was involved so there is so little we can actually talk about.
