Missing Altoona woman search focuses on Huntingdon wooded area

Oh boy, this could be really big news !
I wonder why they won't say . Also , it seems like, even though they gave Shellz somewhat of a snub, it's possible her recent inquiries sparked someone at LE to do something.

Local news fb page 2 hrs ago discussing the new search and not ONE LOCAL resident makes a comment? Poor Sherry !

Yes, they still reside in the house. The other property is acres of land in another county where they go to hunt & camp at.

I'm going to assume the property being searched is the property owned by shell's sisters in-laws. If so this is big news.

I assume it is her father in law because her exhusbands name is Aaron. Also the inlaws own the property Shellz said.

If you check the FB page someone has commented that Kenneth, the father in law has been arrested.

In the second call, Leighty allegedly made incriminating remarks and allegedly told his son where to find Sherry Leighty's body.

"I did it. ... It was an accident," Kenneth Leighty allegedly told his son as police listened in, records show. The body, Kenneth Leighty allegedly said, would be found along a fence row.

The property, police point out, is mostly wooded and used for hunting. Police said there are two outhouses and a primitive building on the 150-acre property as well as a 1996 GMC Sonoma that Kenneth Leighty was likely driving the morning of Sherry Leighty's disappearance.

Altoona police and state police investigators flew over the property in early March, according to court records, and spotted the pickup truck that is now unregistered. According to police, Kenneth Leighty and his wife, Darlene, owned only one vehicle in 1999, that same red pickup.

Leighty’s father-in-law detained; police look for body on his property

Police indicated Kenneth Leighty's grandson told police he was young when his mother disappeared, but he remembered his parents yelling and fighting a lot. Sherry and Aaron Leighty's son also told police he has heard his mother was buried underneath "an old, unused outhouse" at Kenneth Leighty's 150-acre property in Warriors Mark Township, Huntingdon County, according to a search warrant executed this weekend.

Aaron Leighty also spoke with investigators and allowed police to listen in on two phone calls between him and his father on Friday. In the first call, Kenneth Leighty explained why he at first gave permission on Wednesday for police to search his Warriors Mark property and why he changed his mind on Friday, advising police they needed a search warrant

It is encouraging that the x husband aided police in catching the father in law. I wonder what's going through his mind.

But police learned after pulling his work records that Kenneth Leighty was off work between Sept. 29 and Oct. 4.

From link above.
LE only just learned that he was lying about the work back then? This is the most negligent crap. I'm almost wondering if the father in law had a buddy in LE back then. It doesn't make any sense how EASY this comes together if a couple of small questions are looked into. Thoughts ?

Yes-sometimes all the police need to do is look at the facts, to see what happened. There is a case in Staten Island where a woman went missing in 1975-last person to see her was her fiance, who came back from their date without her. He said they had a fight and she bolted from the car, never seen again, leaving behind her broken eyeglasses. The police determined that this was a case of a woman who left willingly, and they never investigated-and there has been no SS# showing up anywhere, etc. I don't know why they don't ask any questions when they see stuff like this!

An article posted above states that as recently as September Altoona police maintained that Sherry's disappearance didn't meet the criteria of a missing person.
