Baldwin’s home was investigated at the end of November 2023, where detectives say they collected belongings and knocked on doors close to the home.
In April of 2024, a homicide investigation was opened into her death, and three months later, in July, investigators announced an award as they sought leads, and said they believe her disappearance was a result of foul play.
Areas across Central Florida have been searched over the years, with volunteers, and according to the Mount Dora Police Department, even a cadaver otter helping earlier this year.
A $10,000 reward remains in place for information in the case.
