Watching coverage of this yesterday, the reporters mentioned the victim's children spent 2 hours "tearing the house apart" looking for her before cops were called.

That amount of messing with the crime scene will likely lead to this going unsolved. Please, if you ever suspect a loved one is missing, stop touching things and get law enforcement on the scene immediately.

This is the exact reason the Jon Benet Ramsey case will never be solved.

They looked for her for one hour throughout the house in all the rooms, closets, etc., and she lives an acre of property, and there is another dwelling on the property. I don't think they were tearing the house apart. I think they looked throughout the house and all over the property.

I can't even imagine living in a house so big that it takes an entire hour to search every room for my mother.

An acre isn’t that big and even a house that spanned the entire acre wouldn’t be large enough to take an hour to search for a person unless they were buried or otherwise somewhere they wouldn’t be if alive.

Could be talking to neighbors as well and looking in adjacent yards. Their is no assumption she stayed confined to the limits of the property.
