"There's no way that Stephanie or Dan could have walked away from that car," a friend of the couple, Tammie Wilkerson, told ABC News. "She has a cane. It was at home, her purse, their cellphones—things they would never have left at home." This highlights the urgency and concern surrounding the couple's disappearance, given Daniel's health issues and Stephanie's mobility challenges.
"They don't deserve this. ... They're just good people. They go to church. They don't deserve any of this," Sandy Marinelli, a longtime friend, shared. This underscores the couple's positive community image and the shock surrounding their mysterious absence.
"They went inside their home to see if they would be OK inside and they didn't find them in there," Marinelli said. "It was just very suspicious for them to be gone." This statement reiterates the community's concerns over the circumstances of the Menards' disappearance.
The Redlands Police Department told TIME Wednesday that they don't have any further information about the couple's disappearance. This reveals the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to locate the missing couple amid a lack of new developments.
