Not this case, as we don’t yet have a poi, just a missing person. JMO - I am not a lawyer, but there is general logic in humans. Extradition/non-extradition, strictly speaking, applies to political cases or cases having political potential. Another possible situation would be difference in laws between the two countries (e.g., drugs), or huge difference in punishment for the same crime. And, the third reason to adhere to laws, more likely in some countries than others, is when the person to be extradited has enough money to bribe local officials. (But it is high risk, so we are probably talking about a lot of dough).
When it comes to garden-variety murderers, no country is eager to hold extra, so lack of mutual extradition treaty becomes a moot point. See Maricella Botello’s case. Cambodia has no extradition treaty with the US, in fact, it is on the list of “best non-extradition countries”, yet it was obviously too happy to get rid of the scary murderous couple. There are many laws allowing to “extradite without extradition”.
Now, we are discussing only a potential poi, whoever they might be, and likely, it is not a husband. I am thinking, if it is a US phone company, it is not difficult for someone living in the US to get a second owner of the same account, and then it is easy to control any phone. Also, I once bought a device (a tiny portable printer) that I can now safely call “a spy”. ((( It had an app that one needed to install, and Apple Store didn’t have it, while Google play did. So much about Android safety. Then also, companies like TMobile have “digits” function. I bet Verizon or AT@T have similar programs. So, not so hard these days. Lots of other spyware around.
It would be of interest to find out if Ana bought a local phone, or used an international plan on a US one.
