Very pretty lady. Wonder who reported her missing.
Last seen on Saturday evening...but not reported missing until Monday. Hmmm...
My understanding is...
She was seen by a neighbor walking in the neighborhood (which apparently wasn't out of the norm) Saturday evening.
It sounds like then they realized Sunday she wasn't around and were struggling to make sense of any of it, to see if she'd been in touch with others (lots of components to this family - and just lots of people as they're at least largely Mormon families - which can lead to a false sense of assuming someone else has been in touch type thing at times)
I've not seen anything indicating she lives with anyone, but she does have two younger kids (one is a toddler) besides the 3 older ones from another marriage, but as I said above, I've not found any 'candidate' for the father of those younger kids mentioned or in things, so I've not seen anything indicating if he's with her, not with her, in the picture at all, perhaps not even alive, or if he may even largely have the younger kids? :dunno:
Totally my guess from things alluded to, but I suspect she may have not been seen overnight before when she wasn't doing well, and that they may have thought it'd be like in the past and she'd be back the next day and waited based on that.
It seems like they
STILL don't know much about the context prior to her last been seen walking the neighborhood as they've said several times and a number of places that all those details are fuzzy or not not known (maybe a factor in waiting to report it too if they didn't really know much either? not sure) and they're still trying to figure things out.
The tone/concern level in things I was finding by this afternoon was markedly different from yesterday's stuff, though I'm sure it just being another day is part of that.
Something also seems to have made them think she could have gotten in trouble up in the Rock Canyon area (they've actually got a contact of their own apparently who was up flying with FLIR today - I don't think it was LE - and they seem to have friends who are trained in S&R and have been initiating
a lot of their own planning/searching and it's switched from being more casual) whereas yesterday it seemed like they were kind of thinking she went for a walk and sort of stayed gone to clear her head or something.
I've not figured out if the stuff in the media about possible concern if her metal state is playing into this is because of anything unusual, or more a general thing making her more at risk. :dunno:
Or if she had perhaps been on a spiral in the days/weeks prior to this (could her daughter leaving for her mission and not having real contact for 18 months have been a trigger or...?) or maybe the neighbor who saw her thought she seemed really upset (though I feel like they'd have said if that was the case and LE would probably be hopping on that more)
I get the feeling the family is doing as much head scratching on a lot of this as we are reading it because it just doesn't seem like
anyone knows much.
It seems like her being out just walking the neighborhood or toward the canyon wasn't unusual, and that but not really truly into it might be unusual. Unless there's some concrete piece of information pointing there that they've not shared (and managing to have none of the many posting inadvertently spilling it) it seems that they're thinking she must be somewhere in Rock Canyon just out of lack of anything leading anywhere else and it being the best educated guess based on where she had been seen, combined with very little info.
