Reading about this sad case for the first time.
She has been missing a long time. It sounds like she went missing around November 2015. So it sounds like it is almost two years and it will be two full years this coming November 2017.
In the link to the photobucket there is an article from NBC news which says the Mom had to file a Missing Persons report. I wonder why she was the one that had to do that and why did the father of the boy she was living with not file the report. I would have thought he would have been the first to know she is missing and it seems he should have been the one to file the report. The article is not clear if he was actively searching for her or not. It is strange why not much is mentioned about him in that article.

I have to agree with a previous post that mentioned a couple common reasons that always seem to come up in cases that are similar. I have to guess that a jealous person may have done harm to her. I hate to think that is what happened but I cannot think of anything else that would match the few known facts. The leaving of her vehicle at the bar by someone points to someone did her harm and wanted her truck found. I do believe the person wanted to make it look like she was last at the bar and they wanted it to look like she met up with foul play by someone she had met. There was a witness that said they saw the person walking and then ducking into the weeds when they drove by.
It all points to someone that did her harm and then dumped the vehicle to try to make it look like she was there at the bar when she went missing.
The few known facts point to someone that was jealous of her and did her harm unfortunately.
Its too bad the witness did not get a better description of the person they saw walking away from the bar. Since the person they saw was on foot then it seems that person may not have lived too far from that bar. That may be the only other hint we have of who it could have been.
If that same person that dropped off the vehicle is the one who did her harm then he likely got rid of her body before he got rid of the vehicle which means she could be anywhere. But likely within a 20-30 mile radius would be my guess. Probably took her someplace he knew which would be secluded and so guessing around 20-30 mile maximum because I dont think it would be much farther than that. Probably closer and maybe more like 10-15 miles.
There is another small possible clue in that same article. The stepfather said he last talked to her as she was headed home. She was supposed to call him back with some measurements and never called.
So unless something happened to her on her way home then it could be that she did make it home.
