We were able to get into her tablet, but not her phone. The police are still working on getting into her phone, which we think is critical.

I’m curious about the backyard because the terrain could be important in many ways. Soft spots or holes, foliage, access to it, fencing, shady areas, etc. and what type of wildlife is in the area? Can you describe the backyard?[/QUO
Berkshire Mountain Search and Rescue teams have looked in the woods and lake surrounding where she disappeared. I believe Mass State Police are going to search the woods with cadaver dogs.

Getting those phone records is definitely critical. I'm glad you were able to check her tablet. Did you check through all the photos and docs on the tablet? I know some people find writing a journal to therapeutic, or maybe she might have noted some thoughts/feelings in a document. Just a thought.

Are there houses near by?

How do we get this case looked at seriously? She has to be somewhere. She goes outside to look at birds and just disappears? I heard that the family had friends holding signs outside of the court building during the Kevin Spacey trial at Nantucket MA, for the media to see. I’m guessing that no media picked it up. Where is Jacqueline Coutinho?

30 minutes ago on the Find J.C. facebook page a family member posted they have an update from LE but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Authorities investigating whether body found in Peru, Massachusetts is that of missing person

Authorities are investigating whether a body found in Peru, Massachusetts matches the identity of a woman that was reported missing in May, the Berkshire District Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.

Coutinho is a very portuguese family name. Is she or her husband of portuguese or brazilian descent? If that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to contact the respective consulate. I'm portuguese, they usually try to help out a lot when stuff happens to people of portuguese descent living abroad.

Peru and Hinsdale are only a couple of miles apart it seems. Google Maps

Now who knows Jackie and who is familiar with logging? Hmmm.

Yes very close, 5 miles.

Is it an 1hr 41 minute walk via a paved surface? Could be much longer through thick woods.

Maybe she got lost in the woods and wandered on?

I wonder how long until the body is identified. Any word on the body in Peru?

Hinsdale Police Chief Susan Rathbun said Wednesday that the remains discovered by loggers have been positively identified as Jacqueline "Jackie" Coutinho.

The cause of death has not been released. A spokesperson for the Berkshire District Attorney's Office said that information will be released publicly when it is known. Previously, police said they have not expected foul play to be a factor in the woman's disappearance —and that there is no threat to public safety.
