Something inky about this report. If it was my spouse, I'd have called LE immediately and demanded they go check on my family's welfare... Called my spouse too.

Yes, I would have too, Tigress. Hope they find them safe.

This may move to missing if nothing new develops soon.

I wonder about the time lapse between the call and when Mena left work to go home and see what happened. I'm sure LE will try to trace the call and hopefully, if this is a true case of kidnapping, find the kidnapper. Maybe the call will have been made on his cell phone so LE can track pings.

Also wonder about other witnesses to the burglary.
