Her companion reportedly told authorities that he slept in the car with Arand's two dogs and when he awoke the next morning, she was gone. She left behind all of her personal belongings. Interestingly, her traveling companion did not report her missing for three days.

No new information or clues were discovered in the most recent search effort.
