Thanks, but since I'm a little desert rat I don't know much about how snow and cold weather affects the ground. I'd think it would make digging a hole difficult and therefore limit their options as far as hiding Sherry. I've only seen snow once in my life, so I don't know if it really is impossible.
I know there's been a lot of speculation about oil workers being responsible for Sherry's disappearance, largely due to the mayor's comments, but what about someone who works at the sugar beet refinery in Sidney? Or someone who was delivering something to or picking something up from the sugar factory? It was reported that Sherry's shoe was found near the sugar factory. There might have been a shift change at the factory around the time she was jogging in that area.
Or maybe someone from the sugar factory coming on or off shift witnessed something.

Officials have not reported finding a body, and Smelser says no searches are planned.
Therefore, aggravated kidnapping requires the additional element beyond kidnapping that bodily harm be inflicted upon the victim kidnapped. In other words aggravated kidnapping can be defined as the commission of kidnapping while armed with a dangerous weapon.

Based on this definition of Aggravated Kidnapping, it would seem to rule out the idea that she was killed when he/they accidentally hit her with a vehicle, right? I think it has to mean that either he/they hit her with the intent to kidnap her (the vehicle being the deadly weapon at that point), or accidentally hit her and she was still alive when they took her to cover it up....the aggravator in that scenario being whatever they did to her after.
Obviously, this is all based on the idea that she was hit with a vehicle at all....it still seems completely possible that there was no "accident", and she was just grabbed for nefarious purposes from the get-go.
Or maybe she was kidnapped at gun point or knife point and lost her shoe in a struggle.
One thing we have in South Dakota and surrounding states is cold and snow. The ground does get hard and it is impossible to dig. I know for funerals they have to use a heat machine to thaw the ground and dig the holes.
New update:
"They still want information out of the two people that were arrested," said Brad Garrett, former FBI agent and ABC News consultant. "They don't want to compromise that until they get all of the information."

Also from the abc article:
"We would like to thank police, FBI, people of Sidney, the people around who have turned out to help, and the role they played in bringing Sherry back home," Arnold's husband, Gary Arnold, told ABC News. "It wasn't how we wanted her to come home, but she came home to us."
