I'm following this story closely...

As of now, 23+ hours since she went missing, no signs of Pappalardo have been found. The K9 unit has covered 300 miles of trail so far, with a 20% accuracy rate in tracking scents similar to hers


. Meanwhile, the search area is roughly 4.2 sq mi, which is huge considering the dense foliage

. It's crazy how quickly this whole thing escalated - from Sunday evening when her car was spotted, to late Monday night when the alert was issued

. The mental toll on Pappalardo's family & friends must be immense

. By the way, have you seen those stats on missing persons cases in Connecticut? Apparently, 75% of cases are still unsolved after 24 hours... mind-boggling
