I read that message. I feel sure that they've already spoken to everyone they can think of, at least those the daughters may have expected their mom to have seen or spoken to recently.
Absolutely, I am sure that they have. That doesn't mean that they have "cleared" them or that they are now completely confused about what happened. A lot of times they question everybody and one person stands out... that they investigate further.
I think where they are searching is indicative of what they think happened.
If they thought it was someone from out of town that had taken her, they'd likely be looking out of the area.
If they thought Lori had taken off, they'd also likely be looking out of the area.
If they thought it was simply an intruder Lori surprised, they don't generally go to the trouble of cleaning up or removing someone from the house.
It sounds to ME like they believe this was someone in the very immediate area who would have been comfortable in the area they are looking in.
Or, they believe that Lori left to walk the property on her own and something happened while she was out there. I still think it's unlikely she would have gone far if she was in that much pain.
I really do wonder if it was actually pain...or if she was trying to alert her friend that something more was going on. If she was being held by someone trying to abduct her...and there is some lady knocking on the door... then calling... obviously Lori will have to answer the phone to say something to get the person to go away so that the abductor can leave.
I wonder if there were any extra vehicles there at that time? Or anywhere in the area? I know most people wouldn't even notice that anyway.
