This case reads differently than a Mother's Day bike ride --

She did leave the house, she did apparently make it toward her acupuncture appointment, but apparently didn't go to it.

Could see be a victim of a secondary crime? Not sure what that crime would be. Hijacking. If she wandered around for hours, could her car have been towed? I hope LE has considered that. Still doesn't explain where she went. Wouldn't be the first care of a car being towed with a person in it.

Could someone be harboring her, who believes they're protecting her? Church, hospital, homeless shelter...

She's somewhere.

Linda and her husband were frequently in contact with each other according to him and her family. Odd that they weren't sharing locations with each other. In at least one of the interviews IIRC he said, at the time, that her phone was still ringing.

 

[Megnut]

So where is her phone?

 

[Inthedetails]

The other distinction is: her car is missing.

If you take someone away that you murdered in their car and hide it somewhere remote, you have to get back home again somehow. It just makes the whole husband did it thing much more complicated. Not impossible, just in my mind a little less likely.

Documented mental health issues and currently on leave from her job. She seems to be a high risk for self-harm.

This is a big reason why I want to know where she was last seen by someone, other than at home.

And, I'm surprised we're not hearing about neighborhood cameras capturing movements of her car.

So where is her phone?

I would hope since LE stated she may be in need of medical attention they could put in the request to her service provider to ping her phone.

I'm actually really worried about this lady.

I know. Until we learn that her car, and better yet that she were captured on video it sure leads to a lot of speculation.

I guess it takes time. Time to get and analyze phone data. Time to canvas for CCTV.

But if she was in a business district, surely she was on camera, and LE will eventually be able to map a path.

But what if she wasn't any where near the acupuncture business? She never made it to her appointment and I'm thinking LE might have included that second location as a possible potential. At least we have a point A and point B I guess but if something went haywire along the way she could be anywhere.

It's actually crazy how big the world is and how small we are as individuals.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Question on the mental health concerns that were reported. Has that been substantiated by anyone, or is that just what her husband told LE?

It hinges on whether that's a real sighting or an indication of where she might have been.

Nothing about her phone.

You don't need a warrant to ping the location of a phone for a person who may be in imminent danger. LE has already done this for sure.
