I take showers, blow dry my hair, clean the house, turn the music on loud, vacuum, walk the dog, shovel the walk outside - do lots of things that keep me from answering the phone. My husband would not come running home looking for me if he could not get me on the phone for thirty minutes.
Wow that article that Nurse posted said the police do have a lead. That's good news.
I was in a previous relationship where checking in was expected and if I didn't answer the phone when he called or I was gone from the house for too long he assumed I was cheating on him. Of course the relationship didn't last long after I realized what the heck his problem was... insecurity big time!
Not saying that was an issue with Amy just saying there are many different reasons for the "close" relationship a husband has or needs with his spouse.
Soon as I read the 1st sentence I knew that case- I live 30 min or so away and always wondered if the locals felt he did it.OT: When our sheriff's wife was murdered a few years ago, the sheriff couldn't reach her on her cell phone so he rushed home from their planned lunch date to find her dead in their home. He's always been the #1 suspect in our community and has since moved away. What stood out to me more than anything: why rush home to check on your wife so soon, especially in the case here - the wife was a busy real estate agent and active in the community. She could have had a myriad of reasons for missing lunch and not answering her phone, kwim? Even though Amy does not seem to have such a busy lifestyle (and no car access), that always stands out in my mind.

Same here... I'm even more suspicious now that the kids left for school at 7:20 and the husband didn't leave until 7:30. So no one else was there at that time but the husband/wife. And the door wasn't answered at 9:00 or 9:30...
Shoes and coat is what she would have had on if she had walked the kids to the bus stop, kwim? And came right back.
Again, I hope I'm wrong and she's okay. If she's not okay, then I hope for the kids' sake that the dad is innocent. JMHO

Comment on NG's FB from a friend, AD. In summary: She says James is a wonderful husband and man. Amy was a very giving and sweet person who would "give the coat off of her back" for anyone, volunteers at the school and community center when she can etc. Says that it was James' and her routine for the 10:00 call every day. Also says the community is in shambles and that they don't need the negativity toward the family.
It's on or around comments 200-250.
I'm almost always home in the mornings but if my husband couldn't get in touch with me for 30 minutes he would not come home from work to check on me. He would just try calling again later. I suspect he would get worried after a couple of hours, not just 30 minutes.

So hard on the family - they're traumatized about their missing loved one, and then they find out pretty quickly that public scrutiny is very intense and can be very harsh at times.
