Vagirlatheart- When you say you don't think foul play is suspected and that she might be alive, do you mean that you think she willingly disappeared? But when you said LE is being really careful about it, do you mean you think someone is holding her against her will and they are treading lightly to ensure a safe return?
Some of the comments on NBC's newsstory by someone who apparently knows her are phrased in a way that makes me think this particular person believes she willingly disappeared. It could be that her attempts to remain positive are just coming across like that, though. I wonder what the consensus (if there really is one) is among the ground searchers who've been there during most of the searches?
