. . .Long said several extensive searches were made in the weeks following the disappearance. Detectives tried to zero-in on Quintana’s possible movements, and search and rescue teams scoured the wooded areas along Highway 53. Both came up empty-handed. Family members have also searched in vain for the missing woman.
Quintana reportedly did not own a car, so searches have focused primarily on the notion that she either walked away from her residence or got into a vehicle with another person. . .
Quintana’s daughter Jennifer said she doesn’t know who saw Carmen last or what she was wearing when she disappeared, adding that her mom has never been out of contact for a prolonged period of time. Jennifer said family members, search teams, three dogs, a drone, and a boat was used in search efforts along Highway 53.
Jennifer said her mother would not simply disappear. She cited alcohol addiction and mental health issues as possibly affecting her mother’s state of mind. . .
