The house they searched was north of Fellsmere in the 1300th block of 99th Street, but I’m not certain exactly who the house belonged to. It was the last place she was seen.
They recovered a vehicle and other "items of interest" from the property where she spent the night of her disappearance.
As far as cellular data, the article states that there hasn’t been any activity on her phone since her disappearance.

According to an article up above the 1300th block of 99 th street is her brothers house. If all the information on this page is correct.

Wednesday, RT [Amanda's mother] traveled to Fellsmere for the first time since her daughter Amanda Towne vanished from the small city of nearly 6,000 residents. Members of Pink Justice, a nationwide group dedicated to finding missing people, joined RT as they searched wooded lots, roadways, and anywhere else they could in the rural, north Indian River County town for any traces of Amanda Towne.

[...]

Six months later, Towne’s family still has no answers on what happened to the mother of three. The family is offering a $2,500 reward for anyone with any information on Amanda Towne’s whereabouts.

[...]

Members of Pink Justice have searched for Amanda Towne since she went missing, including in wildland areas and near the C-54 canal. This week, the group brought RT to a different canal near 141st Street in Fellsmere where they found some of Amanda Towne’s belongings a few months back, said Founder Erika Torok, 44, Vero Beach.

[...]

On a stretch of roadway along County Road 507 and South Carolina Avenue in Fellsmere sits a banner with Amanda Towne’s picture. The sun-beaten banner reads “Bring Amanda Home.”

It was the same location where Amanda Towne’s son R.J., 13, planted flowers on June 4, honoring his mother’s 28th birthday. Ruthann Towne on Wednesday carefully dug through the soil and placed Crown-of-thorns plants just beneath the banner.

[...]

In April, deputies searched the entire property where the mother was last seen. Deputies recovered some of Amanda Towne’s personal items and also seized an older model blue GMC vehicle from the home.

“We will search for DNA on the items,” Flowers previously said. “We’ve talked to dozens of witnesses and have several persons of interest. We’re trying to recover anything we can to find Towne and make an arrest.”

Sheriff’s Detective Luis Avila previously said Towne’s brother lived at the residence. Deputies said Towne did not have a vehicle.

Search continues for missing Fellsmere mom of three a year later

March 2021
It's been one year since Amanda Towne, 28, of Fellsmere, disappeared.

She vanished without a trace, only leaving a series of questions in her path.

"The people claiming to be the last ones in contact with her, and who claim to care about her and her three children, remain silent to this day," was published on the Finding Amanda Towne Facebook page. "Someone knows something. If you know something, speak up. That little clue that you think may be nothing may be the one big lead that could bring her home to her loved ones- her mother Ruthann, her brother, and especially her 3 children who miss their mom and deserve answers and closure after all this time."


Detectives searched the house and surroundings where the 28-year-old was reportedly last seen, and removed items from that property that were scanned for DNA, including a light blue older model GMC Sierra pickup truck. Authorities used K-9 dogs, a helicopter, and a dive team to search for evidence.
