Why did her family wait so long? Was she visiting away from home but did not return when she was expected?
Hoping she is safe and will return asap.

Why did her family wait so long?

Why do you mean the family was waiting? There is no hint when she was reported, however the public appeal took some time, but this is something that not always happens quickly

Good point, @Darling136, good point. We've certainly seen this type delay before. It could be because Silver Spring and DC blend together, and there are lots of folks in that area. DC and S.Spring kind of blend together geographically.
Hoping for good news soon.
