According to her FB, she knows several truck drivers and "shady" characters. If she was taken against her will IMO she is SE and is not back in her hometown - though I am curious why they think she would be and why no one has seen here there in all this time.
 
This case has just been covered by the "Thin Air" podcast (which is one of my favorites, because it's thoughtful and not exploitative, and the hosts involve family and friends).

Hoping it helps this poor lady be found...

Family members of a Pocatello native who went missing from Afton, Wyoming, in January 2015 are still asking for the public’s help in locating her.

Joann Hakes, 45, was last seen on Jan. 3, 2015, leaving the Silver Stream Lodge in North Lincoln County near Afton, according to Capt. Brian Andrews with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

“The circumstances of her disappearance are suspicious,” Andrews said. “But with no leads or any new information the case went cold and has since been assigned to the Wyoming Criminal Investigations Division for further investigation.”
 
A man has been arrested and charged with first-degree felony murder, second-degree murder and kidnapping in connection to the murder of Joann Hakes near Etna, Wyo. in 2015.

On May 18, 2019, human remains were found on a property located near Etna, Wyoming.

An investigation by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office, Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation, Wyoming State Crime Lab, and the Lincoln County Coroner's Office found those remains have been positively identified as the remains of missing person Joann Hakes.
