I apologize for my haste. It appears obvious now after doing more research she did indeed pack up to leave. Who packs an actual suitcase if they are just visiting a friend for a few days? Most use a gym bag or overnight bag for that. I think she is safe and away on her own terms.
I noticed you said you went to the location and no one was there. Seems odd when the father is seen on tv standing right there. I am terribly vexed over this one.
Gbi should have the vehicle, not the rental company. Seems strange they need a gofundme for reward money. Surely they have a savings when they have a large family. Many things do not add up. Much deception in evidence if not planting or removing evidence even.
I am experienced in psychology and suspect the husband has a story to tell as to why she left and why she was so upset for so long. Statistically more people get divorced in the fall than any other month. Sounds like they were not getting along for some time as most relationships go this way at some point and repair it or separate.
It seems there will either be a big story in the end, or a sad story in the end. I give you back the forum. Thank you for allowing me to chime in. My best regards in this matter.
