OR -- They know she more than likely left with someone she knows so they can't really charge that person if she willing went in. That's why they are looking for a body to see if they can nail that person for being last seen with her and get a warrant or they are really quiet because she still possibly are being held against her will. Maybe the TES just came in and took over the search while the PPD is doing there thing. They might not really know. She could be either in the woods somewhere or at someone's house. Until they get more proof, they won't be able to get a warrant.
Still a possibility that it's the guy walking her to the garage and right now until they build their case he's not considered a POI.
Bears repeating.
I think this is a valid consideration. If there is no evidence (and seriously, what kind of world are we living in where things leave no evidence? MH370. We're supposed to believe it's at the bottom of the sea and nothing--
nothing!--has popped up. Not a suitcase, not a seat. Not even a flippin' package of peanuts. /endrant)
Let me try again... if there is no evidence of foul play, there're no warrants to serve, no charges to file, no possible way to prosecute this kind of case without a body.
No probable cause, no beyond a reasonable doubt, no preponderance of evidence.
The only evidence we (we, as in us, WS, at least) have is that she once was at Shops at Legacy and then she wasn't.
Crimes are messy-- things don't go perfectly on a good day for a
non-criminal. Do you know how many times I've worried that items we've donated to Goodwill will turn up at a crime scene, laden with my dna?
I want to believe that if it was against her will, there's something to find.
But, MH370.
