I’m not a local, but I am pretty familiar with the area. All of this is MOO but based on my knowledge.
The area where her car was found is not far from I-90 and is about a 3 mile walk, as the crow flies, from the Appalachian Trail.
It would be a really strange place to go for a long term hike, but maybe not a strange place to park to throw people off your trail and disappear for a bit.
In that area, cell service is extremely spotty and it’s very rural - people go to that part of western MA to go off grid! No traffic cameras, probably very few trail cams.
I am sure they are checking those nearby sections of the AT for any signs of her, but if she left that immediate area on foot she is going to be hard to find. It’s so wooded and remote.
prayers for her safe return
