We know so little, and I imagine LE has gathered much pertinent information, understandably being withheld from the media.
Two factors I ponder:-
1. It’s been reported tracking dogs were involved in the search. The last known humans to have seen ED, Vigo del Arco and his companion, would have been able to show, likely with considerable accuracy, where they encountered her.
We’d expect the dogs to lead from the point of that encounter to the summit, where reportedly she last communicated with DC via Whatsapp, on Nov. 22nd.
From the summit location, what direction did dogs take to continue tracking her?
For what distance were they able to track her?
Where did they lose her scent?
I wonder if the dogs’ behaviour may have given LE information which caused their decision to consider other reasons for her disappearance, besides a mountain accident.
2. ED’s mother, quoted by The Guardian: “It is utterly out of character for her to be out of contact for this length of time and we are missing her desperately. Esther values family above everything and on all her trips we are always in regular contact, sharing the day-to-day small details of life. We communicated several times every day.”
DC reported ED as missing on Nov. 25th ie. three days after he last heard from her.
Did her mother hear from her during those three days?
If yes, did she learn information valuable for the search?
If no, was she concerned there’d been a mishap?
Did she check if DC had news of ED?
As "it is utterly out of character for her to be out of contact for this length of time” I wonder why both DC and the mother waited three days before one on them raised the alarm. Did they assume ED was out of reach of cell service?
Perhaps answers to these questions have been provided to LE and may aid in their investigation.
If ED has left this world, may her passing have been swift.
For those who love her, may they be granted solace.
