And interesting to know the boyfriend isn't assisting them either, according to the Finding Cieha post above.

I tried looking for the Foxy Farm location and can't find it. I'm curious how far it is from the railroad tracks and of course the boyfriend's home.

As a local to answer your question, it is the farm adjacent to where her car was found on the tracks. I believe the address is Harvest Colorful/ Foxy Produce 902 E Trapnell Rd, Plant City, FL 33566

I found Foxy Farms (Foxy Produce). It is indeed located on E. Trapnell Rd in Plant City.
If you look at the street view in google maps you can clearly see the RR crossing signs. Her car was found running on RR tracks on E. Trapnell Rd in Plant City.
Exactly how close are the two locations? Not sure exact distance (both also located at 900 block of same road).
I say all this to ask, “I wonder why it took several days before they discovered her shoes near the farm? Would the canine units used or even the ground search find those during one of the initial searches? With the dogs, I’m thinking along the lines of picking up her scent?

Your question was probably rhetorical, but it's 141 feet from RR track crossing to entrance of Foxy Farms. Now where her car was on those tracks - I don't know.

Finding Cieha

This post explains how info may change as new details emerge. It then explains how they first believed the last time Cieha was seen was Feb 3, however they know the date was Feb 6; there is also video showing Cieha to be alive on Feb 6. She has not been heard from since.

“We will share with you what we feel you need to know”
 
Pure speculation...it looks like one of two scenarios to me. Either Cieha was drugged or incapacitated and the car was left on the tracks to make her death appear accidental when a train crashed into the car, or she was planning self harm, ending with the car getting hit by a train. In either case, I think she was able to get out of the car and was probably disoriented, losing her shoes in the process. Sad case for her family regardless.

Lets tweek this theory.. it looks like one of two scenarios to me. Either Cieha was drugged or incapacitated and the car was left on the tracks to make a train crash into the car or dispose of the vehicle quickly. Losing her shoes is the key since they were not on the scene initially.. Sad case for her family regardless

Just moo, I think it more likely somebody else caused this, but it is possible that she may have decided to do something drastic (overdose) and dramatic (train wreck) and then walked away, right? Let me know if I'm not thinking clearly on this being at least a possibility. I'm not sleeping well lately. (Or maybe you mean someone took her somewhere else and was trying to get rid of the car?) Sorry I'm dense today.

At this point over a month in all things are valid. I just think this, what points to a suicide, or if she drove her car to that spot, why would detection be so hard to find her. Overdose panic maybe, abduction maybe.. But one thing I've learned on here is to think simple.. what is the most reasonable reason for the facts laid out in front of us. Remember, people don't think of cases like we do, they think impulsively and we say, man they are dumb. But in hindsight, they might just cover their tracks or evidence as easy as possible, the car and distance is key.. the time of day make me think dump instead of disappearance..
 
(My projected thoughts): Law Enforcement Officer: “Gosh, someone left this car, running, sitting on railroad tracks, with a purse, keys, and phone in it. I better move it off these tracks and park it and then go about my evening...no sense making any attempt to locate the owner...”

I just can’t even. Wtf.
 
Why was CT reported missing three days after her last sighting? Doesn't it say that she was usually staying with her boyfriend in plant City and didn't have any other family in the area? Shouldn't he have noticed when she didn't come back that night, or the next night?

JMO, but judging by the family's comments and the facts released so far, this BF is a likely POI.

Exactly! I cannot comprehend how not only has a police officer but just as a human, you wouldn’t think “how odd; let me check this out”
