Investigators have recovered a dumpster from Pine Tree Acres and were searching through it for six hours, looking for something. "I know that they're searching for the body, and so we're a little nervous about that. Hoping that whatever they do find, they find it sooner rather than later," her uncle stated.
The situation must be awful for her family. They are left wondering what will turn up and where.
