I wish we knew what they found.

The article says, "A K9 was brought out Dec. 4 to search the area for any clues. Detectives searched the area for two days and found some of her belongings abandoned in the area, but they did not find Hudson."
According to truecasefiles.com, a hooded sweatshirt and a wallet with her ID and credit cards :(
 
I don't like the guy that tried to use her debit card. He reached into her purse, took it, and then tried to use it two months later? You need permission to take something out of someone's purse. You need permission to use someone's bank card. How did he expect to use the debit card? Did he know the PIN?
 
The Missing Podcast released an episode about Darian's disappearance
23 year old Darian Michelle Hudson was a young woman who was making plans. In the year before her disappearance, she had suffered a miscarriage, a breakup, and the loss of her beloved pet dog Zigg. But despite these setbacks, Darian was determined to find a silver lining. On October 21, 2017, she called her mother Stephanie Hudson to announce that she wanted to leave Stillwater, OK where she was currently living, and move back to her parents' home in Wichita, KS. She planned to enroll in nursing school and hoped to save money by moving back home. Her family was delighted she was thinking of moving home, and since she didn’t drive, they were happy to arrange to pick her up the following weekend.

On October 22, Darian failed to show up for her job at Chili's which was unlike her - she was very reliable. On October 25, her friends began to call and text Stephanie that they could not contact Darian. The following day, Stephanie and the family drove to the Stillwater Police Department to file a missing person's report on Darian. However, they were told they'd have to wait 48 hours, so the actual incident report was not filed until October 28, 2017. When the family arrived at her duplex apartment on the 500 block of West Fifth Street, they were alarmed to find the door open, lights on, and dishes in the sink, but her cell phone was left behind.

Once Darian was confirmed as a missing person on October 28, Stillwater PD began to investigate the incident and was able to rule out everyone close to her. Since she did not own a car, they checked records from public transportation, and it was confirmed that Darian did not use public transit.

Their first break came in early December of 2017 when police were notified of a man attempting to use Darian’s debit card at a hotel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He claimed he’d found the card in a purse hanging off a concrete sewage pipe back in October at the site of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, at the intersection of McElroy Road and Country Club Road, which was under construction.

Several workers remembered seeing a woman fitting Darian’s description sitting in a wooded area just south of the construction site on October 26, appearing blank and unresponsive. The last known sightings of Darian are on the same day by a neighbor of the church property who said he saw her speaking to his grandchildren, but she was gone by the time he got there.
The final sighting of Darian was by someone who said she was sitting on construction equipment on the evening of October 26, looking like she was waiting for a ride. She is reported to have been wearing blue jeans and a white tee-shirt, and some sources indicate she may have been wearing a dark coat.
On December 4, 2017, police searched the wooded area for Darian for two days, finding only some of her belongings, including a hooded sweatshirt and a wallet with her identification and credit cards in the pocket.

Darian is a light-skinned Black woman with black hair and brown eyes. She is 5'3", 120 lbs. and is nicknamed D and D-baby by friends and family. She has both ears and her nose pierced, and a tattoo of a large feather with 5 birds and the words "Birds of a feather flock together" written in script on the back of her right arm. Her family and friends are concerned she may have undergone a mental health crisis and been rendered helpless, and that foul play may have been involved in her disappearance.

I am curious whether her sweatshirt and wallet were found near a car accessible area or quite far into the wooded area, as if she may have left them there herself.

I am also curious whether there was still cash in the wallet and whether it was swabbed for DNA from someone who may have gone through it before tossing it.

And whether LE thinks the man who used her credit card tossed her wallet and sweatshirt there or whether they think someone else did.

My understanding is that LE determined that the man who used her credit card found the wallet where it was, which was (if memory serves) near the construction site. I just feel horrid for her family. This is not a case of a woman who could go missing and no one noticed. Darian is very very loved and very missed
