I think looking at a couple of different factors here, its becoming more and more clear to me that this incident is drug-related. I don't want to get into trouble for saying that, but certain things about this case are too glaring too ignore.
1) TWELVE agencies in on this case almost immediately, including the DEA. As in Drug enforcement agency, among a ton of other agencies. For a couple of those agencies you can convince that they get involved for any missing person incident, etc. But the DEA being involved is pretty clear.
2) I've read that DS either used Burner phones at one time, or even that her current phone may have been some type of burner phone. I'm sorry, but Burner phones are used for a reason. They just are. Saying that she "just kind of liked using them" doesnt cut it.
3) The frightening efficiency with which this crime took place. If dangerous people/groups with a lot at stake are wronged or threatened, betrayed, snitched on, etc, they have people that handle these situations, and unfortunately are good at what they do.
It feels very likely to me that DS may have gotten in over her head here. I don't want to get into trouble for posting this, and I'm really not trying to victim blame. For all I know, she was working as an informant to help take down a drug network, which would be noble, but also ridiculously dangerous. Why would she be informing on a drug network? Maybe LE had something minor on her and this seemed like an easy way to get a free pass. This also explains LE being so quiet on the case. If this really is a big-time Drug bust/or even Drug Cartel type situation...they're not going to compromise that situation or potentially put other people in danger. It also may also explain the need to have posted hefty rewards and things like that...because perhaps people in that line of work have a reputation of turning on their friends for a quick buck. Here are a couple examples of somewhat recent MSM stories of major drug related activity in the area

Look, someone does not have to be an evil kingpin to get just a little too close to this world and get bitten by it. These cases are incredibly sensitive and dangerous. The quiet nature of LE, the fact that they seem to know what generally happened with a complete lack of interest in ground searches, the 12 agencies including the freaking DEA, all points to this. If anyone disagrees, thats fine, but I would really ask them to just please explain why the DEA would be involved in a simple case of creepy stalker/abduction...when a case like that would have nothing to do with them. I would surmise that some of these agencies were ALREADY on the case before DS went missing. When she did go missing, that just threw a big wrench into the investigation, while at same time adding a different element to it.
I won't say anything about the victim and I will not make assumptions.... But, the fact that no one is talking about this is amazing! Please tell me why the DEA, SONIC and Department of Corrections are involved... It could point to drugs but it could strongly point to trafficking as well.
