This is not good. It sounds like the husband or someone else placed the vehicle there as part of a cover up. Do you think most average people would report someone missing after only 3 hours? I know we really haven't heard any details. Thank you Jerry for getting her description and a contact number out!! This way too common in our twisted world.

I'm sure they're giving hubby a real hard look on this one. That is a good point you make about him reporting to the cops after only 3 hours. However, I would imagine she had a fairly tight circle of friends and family where she might have gone, so they would have reason to believe fairly early that something was not right.

But, I still will not be surprised if we here of the husband being charged

Me too. She reminds me of one of my grade school teachers.
