SAN ANTONIO - Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar put out an appeal for help in the search for a missing mother. The response, though, surprised even him.

More than 160 people gathered Tuesday morning in a parking lot on Overlook Parkway, volunteering to try to find Andreen McDonald, 29.

Missing woman described as fitness fanatic, motivator "This is great to see. Community policing at its best right here," Salazar said, visually taking in the huge crowd. "This is giving us the capabilities that now we can start expanding our horizons a little bit more."

Sheriff's deputies on Monday were mostly on their own, as they searched a wooded area about a quarter-mile from the North Bexar County home that McDonald shared with her husband and daughter.

The mother and businesswoman was reported missing Friday under what turned out to be suspicious circumstances.

Evidence found inside her home led sheriff's investigators to suspect foul play.

Salazar later referred to her husband, Andre McDonald, 40, as a suspect in the case.

The U.S. Air Force reservist was arrested on a charge of tampering with evidence and remains in jail.

According to Salazar, Andre McDonald has not expressed any concern for his missing wife or offered any assistance in locating her.

Kristi Cornwell story does not seem right

I haven't posted on this because something has been bothering me about this. I couldn't figure out what it was. That was until this morning when I was waiting for my car to be fixed at the dealership. (Yes, I go to the dealership because it's still under warranty)

First let's start out with you walking down the road, having a conversation on your cell phone. Gone are the days I guess when people wanted the peace an quiet of a walk in the country. So, cell phone in hand, talking to your boyfriend. You're not a young kid. Your a grownup. A car/SUV, whatever, pulls up behind you and you do not know the driver/people in it. What do you say with the cell phone in your hands as they come near you? Do you say "Don't take me" or do you scream "Help" knowing your boyfriend in on the other end of the cell phone in your hand? Do you scream at the people "NO" or "Get away from me" "Leave me alone" Wouldn't any of those have made a lot more sense? Would she have asked them what they wanted if she didn't know someone coming toward her before there was a sense of threat against her?

We don't know for sure what everyone does when they are under stress. Lord knows I've done a lot of odd posts on this blog that leave me scratching my head but usually, there is something else behind what does not seem to make sense. "Don't take me" just does not make any sense in what we've been told about the day she vanished. Maybe it's because I've talk to too many in law enforcement over the years? I don't know but there is just something really wrong here and a woman is missing.

His eyes filled with tears and his lip trembling with emotion, the boyfriend of a missing Georgia woman said he believes she is still alive and begged anyone who knows anything about her disappearance to call authorities.

“I believe this tragedy can come to a happy ending,” Douglas Davis told TODAY’s Ann Curry Thursday in New York. “I believe she’s still alive, just in my heart. She’s a fighter. She has a faith in the Lord that’s real. She lives that faith. I believe that faith will sustain her and has sustained her up to this point.”
