I agree Klass .....

Did it say anything about her keys?  Why would she leave her house voluntarily and lock the door and not take her keys to get back in?

HARTFORD TOWNSHIP — One day this summer, James and Amy Henslee walked hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm down the sidewalk in Hartford.

James wore his coach's uniform; Amy had on her sundress and looked like a prom queen.

Family friend Wendy Boyd thought the couple looked so happy and in love, like they were high school sweethearts.

"They never ended their honeymoon," said Boyd, who spoke to reporters following a press conference this morning at the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office in Paw Paw.

On Monday, Amy Henslee, a 30-year-old stay-at-home mom, went missing.

She was last seen by her husband at their Hartford Township home when he left for work at about 7:30 a.m. Monday.

During the press conference, sheriff's Lt. Bill Lux said he believes Amy Henslee is still alive and may be voluntarily missing.

The front door of Henslees' house in the 67100 block of County Road 372 was locked, and her shoes and coat were gone.

Police found her purse with her ID at the home. Lux said Amy Henslee did not own an activated cell phone. Also, he said that she didn't have a ATM or credit card with her.

Jennifer - let me fix your avatar.  Photobucket closed my account so I'm using Flickr now.  Give me a few minutes and I'll fix you up.

Thanks Klass.  Still no mention of the house keys.  I wonder why they think that she is "voluntarily" missing.

video - female neighbor saw a black p/u truck with snow plow on front pull up to house with others in truck and than leave.  Neighbor has some mixed up idea's on what exactly she saw that day. 

I work from home and can't imagine not having a car/cell phone in this day/age.  Don't use them much but for security/safety measures they are there.

It was revealed Thursday morning that a relative or an acquaintance came by the home before 10:00 a.m. on Monday, but Lt. Lux was reluctant to specify anything further. The fact that she didn't answer any calls Monday was another reason to believe this case is different.

Breaking news on this case.   Not sure how much of the article to post, but the family heard about blood at a trailer belonging to husband's cousin on JVM rather than from police.
Praying for her family, especially those little boys.

Thank you Tol.  When I click on the link I get the site index.  Could you post some of the highlights?  If the family heard news from JVM and NOT the police, there's really something wrong with that, imo.

Volunteers find Blood in Search For Missing Van Buren County Mother
FOX 17 News Reporter
7:04 p.m. EST, January 27, 2011

Volunteers searching for Amy Henslee found blood in a camper belonging to a relative, and now tests are underway to determine if the blood is human or from an animal.  The mother of two has been missing since Monday.

James Henslee says the camper is owned by a relative.  James says that relative told him that  he stopped by the Henslee house Monday morning between 9 and 9:30 a.m., but found no one home.  "I'm not ruling anyone or anything out," James told FOX 17 News.  "I'm just praying that we find her alive."

Police shut down traffic Thursday night on County Road 687 in the 42000 block, where the camper is located, as police search the relative's property.  Police on the scene say it was shut down at 6 p.m., and could remain closed for hours.

Thank you, NICU! 
sorry I messed it up.
Reading the report again, I think they saw it on a local broadcast.  I assumed it was JVM because she had it on as breaking news.

Family learns about new twists in Amy Henslee's case from media, not police
January 27, 2011

HARTFORD TOWNSHIP — The gut-wrenching sobs of Amy Henslee's mother could be heard from the kitchen as she stood by the television and listened to a reporter who knew more about her missing daughter's case than she did.

The television reports from Thursday evening are how the family first heard that police found a trailer with blood in it.

The trailer belongs to a cousin of Amy's husband, James.
(snip)
How could the Van Buren County Sheriff's Department not notify Amy Henslee's family first and keep them informed before the media, demanded close family friend Wendy Boyd.
(snip)
The family had been waiting for hours for authorities to inform them of how the investigating was going to find Amy Henslee, a 30-year-old stay-at-home mom who disappeared Monday morning.

The final blow was when the television reporter erroneously said the Henslee family was already called to the scene of the bloody trailer.

As the family watched the news, nearly 20 vehicles were parked outside James and Amy Henslee's small grayish house. There were several news trucks that looked intimidatingly large on snow-covered County Road 376 located next to fields and woods.

Ever since a morning press conference at the Van Buren County Sheriff's Department, Boyd patiently fielded question after question in front of several cameras.

She invited reporters into the Henslee house and answered more questions when James Henslee was too shaky to speak.

And now, after all that, Boyd was disgusted.

On JVM Mike Brooks said they could determine if it was animal or human blood on the spot.  He said there is a 'kit' they can carry for just this purpose.
The xscripts aren't available yet for a link.  this is just a report on what I heard.

[Tamikosmom]

Considering this cousin of James concedes that he did drop by Henslee home the morning she went missing tells me that this case is not going to end well.

VB Police Investigating Blood Found: Police Treating As Crime Scene
Joe Garber Reporting

The Van Buren County Sheriff's Department may have a new lead in the case of Amy Henslee. A Michigan private search team found blood in a trailer in woods near a relative's house on a property on County Road 687 in Hartford. They are declaring the area a crime scene. Henslee's cousin Junior Beeve lives there, but he hasn't been ruled a suspect. Our reporting partners at WNDU say the woods are used for hunting. Police said a lot of blood was found inside and outside of the door.

When I considered that Amy has no cell, no vehicle, no computer and ... he husband responded so quickly to not being able to contect his wife three house after he left the house ... I was suspecting James.  I know that in the same situation my husband would not be concerned so quickly ... react so quickly.  He would assume I was at a neighbour's home ... gone for a walk ...

I feel quilty.

Janet, just remember your heart is good. 
At first blush her husband's behavior did appear to be controlling.
There is still a lot we don't know.
