Per Sheriff, she was not found, but "evidence was"! BF is still in jail on other cases::eek:

Authorities are following up on leads after searching a wooded area and pond in northwest Missouri for a missing woman.

DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Kasey Keesaman said Wednesday that 23-year-old Leah Marie Dawson wasn’t found during Tuesday’s search of farmland in Maysville but evidence was. He provided no details on the evidence or who owned the property.

Keesaman says Dawson was last seen with her boyfriend about two weeks ago at a gas station. Keesaman says her boyfriend isn’t classified as a person of interest in her disappearance. But he has been jailed for the past week, initially in Clinton County on a drug charges and currently in neighboring DeKalb County for failing to register as a sex offender.

An endangered person advisory has been issued for Dawson.

Please go easy on the landowner. He's in the hospital in bad shape from the stress of this.

I wasn't really trying to find the owner of the land... just the sort of area/land that was being searched. What LE searchers may be dealing with concerning the tundra, so to speak.

Oh OK. That's fine. It's still west a couple of miles

I can't link it as he's not formally a POI, but if you wish to search MO court records he has an extensive history. I'm afraid she won't be found alive. Praying for the babies she leaves behind.

I take it that he's not involved in the case? How did it come to his property being searched? I hope he's ok and is feeling better soon!
I believe the landowner is the father of the boyfriend. Sad day to see police searching your property when your son may be involved in a disappearance :( I’d be stressed too...more like devastated

Thank you. What a nightmare for a parent, besides a child going missing.

Thursday, Eldredge along with Dawson's mother Tonya walked the streets of downtown Cameron, hanging fliers and spreading the word on their daughter’s disappearance.

"At all hours of the day we’re out," Eldredge said. "putting them up talking to people"

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Department is also heavily invested in the search.

Clark said his office has received multiple calls of possible sightings of Dawson since the day she went missing, but so far none of those leads have led to Dawson.

"People think they saw her in St. Joe, several people think they’ve seen her in Kansas City," Clark said.
