There is absolutely nothing on this poor woman… I wonder if they checked her tree farm!!!

Just an observation and opinion, but it appears to me that half of Katherine's face looks paralyzed. Could she have had Bell's Palsy or a stroke? My husband actually has half his face paralyzed due to brain surgery complications and this is how his face appears. If you cover up half her face vertically on this photo, it definitely looks like one side "smiles" and the other either droops or stays in place.

Kathy was a dear friend of my mother and father in law who purchased many evergreens/shrubs/Christmas Trees from her and her husband, Jake for years.
The hemiparesis on her face was due to removal of a brain tumor.
Kathy was a lovely person. The State Police investigated but found no trace of her. Her disappearance is suspicious. They found nothing to implicate her adult son.
