Even when they're struggling, the fact that she never missed a day of work tells me she had a strong sense of duty and identity tied to her role.

So when someone like this suddenly disappears, doesn't show up for work, doesn't call, doesn't follow her routine, it's a major red flag that something is very wrong.

And this isn't someone who would just take off without telling anyone.

This is someone who would push through her own pain to be there for her students.

So that's what makes this so alarming.

Linda's disappearance is completely inconsistent with who we know her to be, Nancy.

But her track record is she never misses work.

And then she misses work.

That's a huge red flag.
