Rio's case is featured in this week's The Missing podcast including an interview with her mother

Thanks for the link -- great Podcast series!
The interview with her mother provided interesting background information, and her mother gave her opinions, including that she thinks Rio was probably abducted. She clearly loves Rio very much, and I hope she will have answers soon.

ETA: One thing stood out -- Rio's phone was not found smashed. It was ringing fine, and was said to have been answered by a man walking past where it was placed (or thrown or dropped?) when Rio's father tried to call it. The man allegedly then brought the phone to Rio's father.
(Rio's mother said the man has been cleared by police.)

I would like to hear a Part II interview -- with Rio's father, from his point of view.

Look back to post # 68.

In that news report, her father says a few things. It ends with him saying, "The future is more interesting. It's better for us. You can't live in the past."

Purely my current opinion: The entire family has struggled greatly and there wasn't an ideal place for Rio to be living, because she was surrounded by instability and negative influences. (I don't mean any offense to her family but think she wasn't spending time with a good crowd of "friends" when living in either home. Her mother says this in the Podcast.)

Her father's words strike me as complete denial, by someone who is unable to handle the full gravity of what's happened and is trying to skip all of the pain and speed through the mourning process. He is focused on himself and not Rio, because that's what he's capable of right now.

IMO it's still unclear whether she was abducted there, not far from her father's home. I hope LE have looked closely at all possibilities, searched vehicles, asked for cell phones, etc.

A friend on the news report said she thinks many people know more but won't go to police. Hopefully people will anonymously send what they know to the police.

The father’s comments are alarming.

For anyone still following this case. The Rio Boyd Missing From Spanaway, Washington - FB Page posted a copy of a SW Application which is interesting to read.

VERY interesting. Notably, the guy who found the phone says *he* was the one who called her dad *after* finding the phone, not the other way around. Of course he could be lying, but I don't really see any benefit to him in saying that he just found the phone on the ground, as opposed to hearing it ring and picking it up. Also correct me if I'm interpreting this wrong but it seems to say that the dad went to the phone finder's house and picked it up, then later was asking the cops if they could find out who the phone finder was, even though he had already met with him?

I need to go back and refresh, it’s been a while. But IIRC, the details and accounts from key players in this case have been a little bit off center bubble The truth is not confusing …
