I don't find it strange that she walked the dog on "her own" (rented) property without protection -- rural VT isn't exactly a high-crime area -- but I do find it strange that her husband didn't miss her until that night. Maybe he did and searched all day alone before alerting authorities, but that's still very strange. It's ALWAYS the husband or boyfriend.

They might have told him to wait if he called earlier. They aren't going to open a missing person case after only a couple of hours, for an adult.

Agree. I mentioned this earlier, that many times with a healthy non-elderly (non-dementia) adult, police will recommended calling back later before officially opening up a missing person's report, because technically any adult is free to go wherever without being declared "missing."
Although, this is where the simple reporting is ambiguous. It would be nice to know if he did call much earlier in the day and they told him to wait. That information changes everything. Without knowing that and them just reporting that he waited until 8pm to report his wife missing when they were on "vacation" (which is the biggest red flag to me), makes it sound a little suspicious. Although, it could be due to incomplete reporting.
If they weren't on vacation, it would be much easier to understand. She's a VP and busy professional, so she could work late, meet up with friends, go to the store, etc. But when I'm on vacation with my girlfriend, we are usually never apart for more than 30 mins at most if she or I were to go some place near where we are staying to pick up something. And with phones, if she went on a hike alone and didn't come back within an hour or so in an unfamiliar place, I would definitely at least text. If I didn't receive a response back within a reasonable amount of time, I would definitely call the authorities to at least seek their guidance. That's why the 8pm thing with no further information is so fishy.....
The ME's ruling that this was an accidental death, along with circumstances that support that, is the information that changes everything. Why is anyone still trying to make the husband into a murderer?
The article says she was reported missing at 8:00 p.m.
I suppose we could speculate whether that means the report was GIVEN then or TAKEN then...
I think it means that's when they did the report. They wouldn't report "he called to report her missing at 4pm but the police told him it wasn't long enough" they just have the time that's listed on the report. There is nothing to indicate he waited till 8 to call. They might not even have recorded that he called earlier if he was told it wasn't enough time.
What a 'Karen' thing to say. Real nice. I'm pretty sure the person you responded to didn't mean it the way you assumed they did. Wouldn't it be better and kinder to give someone the benefit of the doubt? Food for thought, 'Karen'. What happened to the woman was sad regardless of how beautiful one perceived her to be. Obviously.
Yes, obviously. And that was my POINT -- why on earth did that poster feel the need to comment that she was "pretty" and then in the same sentence say how sad it was? (And later that same poster said yes, that was why it was so sad. See post #20.)
But go ahead and insult me based on my name.

It's "whose," BTW. "Who's" is a contraction of "who is." Just for your future info.

Yes to both of those ^^^.
Given that the puppy's body was found close to where they found the woman (according to https://www.wcax.com/2021/09/03/poli...missing-woman/ ), earlier speculation about her chasing after him -- as I think most of us animal lovers would do after our new dog -- seems to be correct. I feel so sad for the woman, the puppy, and her husband.
How does one get to be VP of a major publishing house at age 36? Pretty impressive!
