On another forum, I read one family had waited thirty (30) years for their loved one to come home. They were afraid to sell the house, afraid the missing person wouldn't be able to find them.

Yes Laci's keys were still in the house, so if she returned, she would have to ring the bell.
But Snott knew she was not coming back. No need to stay in the home he murdered her in. He was in a big hurry to start his new life with Amber, after all he did pin himself down to a date...January 25. Quite optimistic of him.

How sad, Grizzfan!

And even when a loved one just dies naturally, you don't want to get rid of their possessions, even things that you can't use yourself. But he was selling hers off and (reputedly) throwing some of her stuff away, as early as January. Almost like he was making a statement of what he REALLY thought of her.
