Looking Over The Property
Two days after Kala had gone missing, authorities pinged her phone, hoping to find a signal. It actually remitted a signal from where she was, but it went dead 2 days after that. Authorities knew they needed to get a warrant to search the property where the ping bounced back from, which they were able to get after a few weeks. But since the property was so huge, it would take some time for them to find anything at all.
