Man...so much mayhem goes on in Laurel County, it ought to have its own forum on Websleuths.

I can't believe they haven't yet found Rosa or her GMC Terrain. Wouldn't a 2017 GMC have some kind of GPS tracking? Have they pinged her phone? Have there been any major searches for her? All I see reported is the case is being investigated.

Good to see they've been searching for Rosa. It would be nice to know where she was driving from when she went missing.

It's been 2 months since Rosa was last seen. Why isn't KSP giving updates on her case? Has her vehicle been located? What more can the public do if we don't have any more info than we have now?

My hunch is that she drove off a road, into a ditch or into water. But where to start looking if they don't know what road she was on?

I feel for the family - must be agony not knowing where your family member is.

I agree. I wonder what made them decide to search the London Dock? I suppose they might have checked the vehicle's GPS records if it was equipped with any and canvassed homes/businesses in and around Buckhorn, Booneville, Tyner and London to see whether they could get any video evidence of her driving by. I don't know much about Kentucky, so I must ask the locals...what are the waterways like from Feb until now? Could LE/SAR be waiting for water levels to drop before conducting any more searches? When does boating/fishing season start? I'm thinking & hoping maybe then someone might come across some kind of evidence of an auto accident.
