[@ImperfectChristianWoman]

The biggest oddity in the whole case is the dad committing suicide. Why would a dad commit suicide because the daughter was missing and he's out looking for her? Or did he feel guilt for some reason about her leaving? There's more to the story about him and his daughter's relationship I believe.

She was probably brainwashed by some Internet human trafficking ring and her father was on to something. So they got rid of him and made it look like a suicide. You are right, why would he do that when he knew she's still out there somewhere?
