The SNP has very challenging parts to hike. It is not like a flat surface; the elevation and temperature changes a lot. They do not want people that is not fit (but well intended) to become a liability. I hike regularly and still find the SNP challenging.

Or she was a grown separated from her husband woman. Which means he would have had no idea she was missing till she didn't show up for work Friday. Tons of adults that have gone missing have had family alerted when they didn't show up for work.

Thank you Beach for your hard work on Nicole's case.
On behalf of Websleuths I'd like to welcome all our new members and visitors.
If you have any questions feel free to email websleuthscomments@gmail.com
In addition to the great post Beach started the thread out with I would like to add just a couple of easy things to remember.
Don't be a jerk when you post. If someone is being a jerk to you do not respond. Hit the alert button. It's the red triangle in the lower left-hand corner of the post.
That's it. Very simple
Thank you for your contributions to the discussion of Nicole's disappearance.
You never know who is reading at Websleuths and you never know when an idea you suggest ends up helping the case.
Take Care,

It actually doesn't mean that unless it directly states that. There are other possible scenarios...maybe someone tried to reach her at work (like a family member) and they were told when they called that she hadn't shown for the day. I haven't read all of the articles (and you didn't link one) so does anyone know how the family found out she called in sick? Did the FD reach out to them or was it the other way around?

I've been following along but this is my first post so....
I agree that "something is off". The thing I keep coming back to is that the VSP may have a POI and they've sort of shut out the group that's been doing the press conferences because the POI is a part of that group. Maybe they're watching them to see if their actions lead them to Nicole or expose their guilt. That's less likely to happen if they're allowed to join the search and are busy with that.
Just want to add that I'm NOT talking about the husband. So many of these things, if foul play is involved, are perpetrated by someone the victims knows. The VSP saying that foul play isn't suspected would maybe make it more likely that the POI would be brazen enough to do something that would help the case.
Just my thoughts.

On Friday, the 31-year-old failed to report for duty and did not answer her phone when co-workers called to inquire about her whereabouts, Hall added.
Hall, who identified himself as Mitterndorff's shift commander, said fire department protocol requires that employees make a sick call prior to 5 a.m. Hall, however, was unsure if Mittendorff called, emailed or texted to report she would not be coming into work. That is when department brass prevented reporters from asking additional timeline-related questions, suggesting that it could hamper the Virginia State Police's ongoing investigation.

A fire official with intimate knowledge of the case told ABC7 on Wednesday, that there is much more to the case than has been made public by investigators.

That's not the point: she did work at Merrifield before going to FS 32 and Dunn Loring is only one mile away from Merrifield. Coming from a Fairfax County Firefighter Family, I know these two stations work a lot of the same calls... I know, members from each house have probably met one another. Neither station has any banner or flyers to acknowledge their missing fellow Fairfax County Firefighter!
Just an FYI I may not have provided the links but others on this thread have provided links to the FD confirming she called out sick on Wednesday. Most jobs protocol is to call listed emergency contacts when they don't show up for work.

Or her family called looking for her...
This has been my hunch from the beginning. I also do not believe she is in the SNP.

in my above post, hall said he wasn't sure if she called, texted or emailed...

Fairfax County fire officials told reporters Mittendorff telephoned to say she was ill last Wednesday. A text message with her father at 10:50 a.m. that day is the last known communication from the 31-year-old Woodbridge woman.

Oh, I know there are links that say she called out sick. I'm trying to say that we don't have confirmation as to who called whom about her not being at work on Friday. Did the FD notify the family (as you suggested in your OP) or were her family/friends trying to reach her? I just haven't seen anything in MSM stating that particular event.
We have seen that the FD alerted when she didn't show. Whether they called her, the family, or the police isn't clear, but it's been established that it was her not showing up that raised alarms.

How does a young, vibrant, healthy, dedicated-to-community young woman fall off the radar? Please God help us find her.
I have a daughter near her age,I cannot imagine.

Cool. Thanks.
I see in the latest linked article above that it says when she didn't show up for her shift on Friday they called her but received no answer. I still just am wondering what the next series of events were. It's neither here nor there really. The fact remains that she's still missing.
Find you way home, Nicole!
True. I just know from the original FB post her father said it was when she didn't show up for work.
