Can we find local reporters twitter accounts reporting on this search for Sierah? We need a person at ground zero reporting for us.
The search radius is currently 4 miles, so a good starting point for a geographic comfort zone should lie there. Any farms harvesting right now within that radius?
It's true but it seems many women still have a "it won't happen to me attitude". I was the victim of a violent crime in my oh-so-safe neighborhood.Very publicized. I made it my mission to tell all the women in the area (many walkers, joggers, dog walkers, etc. big college area) that there was a violent rapist on the loose and quit going outside by themselves particularly with ear buds in!! Do you think any of that activity stopped? NO! There those young girls were, out every day...2 weeks after my attack, the same guy jumps out of some bushes at 6:30 in the morn and starts stabbing a random man that was in his driveway! They caught him, the man survived..but the reason I say this is because until it happens to you or someone you love, that little voice in your head still tells you it won't happen to you. You will be alright. It's okay....

I think its a local just because its a rural town, really no reason to be there unless you live there or ties to it and this was a crime of opportunity sadly.
That's a good start, but as I stated yesterday, I think the perp would've put a good amount of distance between himself and where she was nabbed. Keep in mind, the person(s) who did this would have no idea if it was witnessed by someone or not, especially with it being as close to her residence as it was. This person would have no way of knowing if the call to 911 went out within minutes of the abduction or 4 hours later. It's actually pretty surprising how many witnesses they have been able to round up to this point considering what a rural area it is.
Being that I think the perp is a local, I think this snatch-and-grab was done with a hiding place already in mind. It's probably some secluded spot he used to go to in order to target shoot, hunt, or drink beer with his underage friends. It may also be a building situated on an abandoned property that is rarely visited. The sky is the limit on where this spot may be.
The first thing LE needs to do is to clear all unoccupied structures that are isolated and remote, whether it be a barn, a shed, a hen house, an outhouse, or a doghouse. Any isolated dwellings on private property need to be accessed either with permission or searched by the property owner himself. After all buildings have been searched and cleared, they can concentrate on the open fields. By isolated structures, I mean buildings that are not within plain sight of either the land owner or motorists driving up and down the roads. "Hidden" structures might be a better term to use.
Granted, growing fields can hide a lot of things, especially from the air. but I think she was transported out of the immediate area and taken to some place that was out of range of any emergency vehicles that might be on the way. The buffer zone I have in mind would be around 6-10 miles.
Has her phone been found? In this article, it says her phone has been uncovered 4 or 5 miles from where her bike was found and not being investigated as a kidnapping but suspisious.

I can't confirm that for you at this time. Have not heard this. It seems he wouldn't be so casual about where the phone was found. 4 or 5 miles? A mile is a lot to be off. If it was over 4 miles, you think the search would have incorporated that area. I don't know what to tell you right now, I'm checking..
Miller said the matter is being treated as suspicious in nature, but not as a runaway or kidnapping.
