Yes I can't understand how they didn't search more thoroughly seen as her belongings were found there , if I were her family I would be very angry right now at the intial searchers . Leaves to much room for What ifsHonestly, it seems like they should have covered every square inch of that place, inside and out including under trees. But she may have been strategically covered with leaf fall and other debris or rocks and unless you look really close, you might not notice. Or she may have been placed there after an initial search.
I can see why people might be upset that she was right there.
