The police have asked people who own large plots of land to sweep their property. This leads me to believe that they're looking for a body. I think everyone assumed the worst.
Its been obvious for a while they are looking for a body..its just a matter of time before either this piece of pond scum cracks or a body is eventually found..if this guy is indeed a serial killer he knows the drill he has probably hidden her in a location that will be very difficult to locate
My first inclination was he sold her into sexual slavery -— that he was some kind of pimp
