This is a scenario that we read here too often. A couple has a disagreement, the wife disappears, husband expects her to return home soon, missing person report comes later.
She has no cell phone, and she left her purse at home. Computers devices have been given to police, but the couple lived off-grid so it's unlikely that they contain useful information.
Missing since February, reported missing in April, hitting the news in October. That's a long time for the husband to be waiting for her to return home to pick up her purse.
"RCMP say they suspect foul play in the disappearance of a 51-year-old mother of three, last seen in February.
The mystery Jennifer Provencal's disappearance is deepened by the fact she wasn't reported missing for nearly three months, when her absence was discovered by a sister living across the country.
Provencal was last seen Feb. 5 in the vicinity of her rural property in the small community of Forest Grove, outside 100 Mile House, about 300 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. Her husband, Thomas Boulding, says they had an argument and he left their home. When he returned, she was gone, he said.
...
Provencal doesn't have a cellphone, and she left her purse.
...
Police have also searched her property, including with dogs, and Boulding said he has shared all the information he can, including personal belongings and computers, so RCMP might be able to get a lead."

Link includes video interview with sister and husband.
It is reported that Jennifer has left home in the past, and that she returned a day or so later.
I'm curious - does she own a vehicle? Where is that vehicle? If not, how did she leave in the past? If she walked, that opens up many possibilities for how she may have vanished.

They had an argument. She may or may not have said that she was leaving and, if she said she was leaving, she also said that she was going to Montreal to stay with her sister.
It's confusing - did she storm off and say that she was going to Montreal, or did he leave for a couple of hours and discover that she was gone when he returned home? If she stormed off, how did she leave? Are both true: she stormed off, he left, he returned, she did not return?
“We had an argument about my time management skills,” said Boulding from outside the home. Boulding said he then went to get hay and when he came home, Jennifer was gone. When asked what he thought happened, Boulding said he didn’t know.
“I have so many different ideas since I’ve been thinking about it but yeah, took off with another man, just left like cause, she had left a few times before, gone to a motel and then called me the next day or whatever to come pick her up,” Boulding said. “But yeah, I figured I would be getting a call about something.”
...
[Sister] Johanne tried the couple’s landline again in April and spoke to her nephew. Two days later, on April 21, she said Boulding called her.
“And he said, you know, I thought she was with you. I haven’t seen her since Feb. 5,” recalled Johanne. “I just thought OK, like, tell me what happened. You know, he’s like, we had a big fight, she said she was (leaving), she stormed off. She said she was (going to) contact you, I thought she was with you.”
...
“No, I did not,” Boulding said. “I came home and she was just gone, like I have nothing beyond that. I am in the dark about all of it.”
Boulding said he has no idea what could have happened to Jennifer. He said he did not kill his wife, and believes she’s still alive. “Because she’s a strong, independent woman, knows how to take care of herself and yeah, I just refuse to believe that she’s dead,” Boulding said."

There's a few extra tidbits in this article. I am sensing red flags with the husband. Hope I'm wrong.

Yow! It's her sister speaking out, wanting answers and making the calls. The husband doesn't. 
Did she leave on foot? If so, it was -1 degrees Celcius that day (29 degrees Farenheit).Yow! It's her sister speaking out, wanting answers and making the calls. The husband doesn't.

That is the big question! It was cold, so unlikely that she walked anywhere far. She didn't have her purse, but that doesn't mean she didn't have her ID and bank cards in her pocket. We have not heard that she had a vehicle, although one would hope that they had two vehicles for two parents. There has not been a request to look for her vehicle.
