I can’t share anymore details at this time. I am seeing and appreciate your messages of love and support, but I do not have the capacity to respond to all of them.
Currently, the only way you can help is if you have specific information regarding her whereabouts or those of her car in the last two days. I will let people know when I have more information.”
