This case is so interesting. Yesterday, I felt quite sure that the pair had been murdered in a "hit" related to the will dispute. But today, after reading about the adult children's' victory in the matter of the will, I have an entirely different perspective. Whoever found that is a great sleuther, BTW!
I wonder if the assets in the will were totally dispersed and were "liquid." If so, I bet she's gone to another country and the $$ is safely tucked away where George's children can't get access to it (but she can). Think Swiss bank account or Caymans.
I'm also shocked that Emily was attending a school costing $36k a year. Is that really true? This isn't college; it's what, ninth grade?!? Who sends their kid to a school that expensive unless your filthy rich or aspiring to be? That's just strange, but it may indicate something about Iona's personality. I wonder whether Emily was going to this school before her father died or if it was after the probate was settled and Iona got $$. Is it a boarding school?
I think LE knows lots more than they're letting on. If Iona prepaid her car park for a long duration, that tells me she wanted time to be gone before being noticed. But if Iona cooked up a false will to get George's assets fraudulently, it sounds like she has yet to be charged with a crime. So what would LE do if they feel she skipped out but criminal charges were t pending? My guess is they wouldn't say too much because they can't compromise her privacy under such circumstances.
Anyway, I hope that's what happened. If so, they will be found eventually. If not, their being missing with no phone pings is a very ominous sign. But I don't think it would be a random crime if they were abducted. And knowing where to find two people while they're in the city seeing a show would be too difficult to pin down with too many variables.
I could completely change my opinion again in 5 minutes though! And, it's all JMO.

All it indicates to me is that they had the money to provide their daughter with a private school education, and they valued the education that particular private school provided.
Nothing sinister nor strange about her/their choice in private v public ed.
Having money shouldn't automatically be associated with evil motives imo. Poverty should not be associated with possessing evil intentions either.
