"...the house continues to be held by law enforcement during this open investigation through a search warrant that has been sealed by the court," the sheriff's office stated.

Chaffee County Sheriff John Spezze stated that it is not unusual in these types of investigations to start at the home and extend outward, in an effort to seek clues surrounding the disappearance.
