Expecting the Unexpected
Since this would also be the vicims home could LE not get a search warrant for the house and the property?
It sounds logical, but as with the Gail Palmgren case, if someone drives away from the house then the vehicle is considered the crime scene. In Gail's case, they have never found her jeep, and they waited months before they searched the property. *sigh* Karen Swift's case is even more maddening ~ the car was found just around the corner, yet they haven't searched the house because the husband won't give permission, plus in the beginning they had the red herring of the dog poisoner down the road.
It just seems to me that if my husband or one of my kids was missing, I would be hysterical, and I wouldn't mind if they searched my home. Why not if it could bring home a loved one? That's why it always amazes me when people won't allow even a quick walk-through by police, but this happens all the time.
