Deployed National Guardsman's pregnant wife missing for two months

As hard as it must be to have his wife missing, especially pregnant, it must have been torture for him to be in Afghanistan for the last two months. They just sent him home last week!

Emile Decker, the missing woman's husband and father of her toddler, deployed to Afghanistan with his National Guard unit on Feb. 2, but he returned to Virginia last week.

Why didn't they send him home a long time ago? What was it like for him to be so far away and unable to get back home for his child and help search for his wife?

Bethany Decker, 21, disappeared two months ago. She is believed to be about six months pregnant.
Deputies combed the fields and woods across the road from Decker's apartment building, where her boyfriend last saw her on Jan. 29. No obvious clues or evidence was recovered, but Capt. Ken Pratt, of the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, said deputies did find some things worth checking out further.
