Orange County Sheriff John Mina told reporters Thursday that over 60 detectives are working exclusively on the case. In addition, investigators have conducted nearly 30 searches across three counties.
According to her family, Marcano was supposed to fly into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Friday. When she did not show, the family hopped on a flight to Orlando.
When they arrived at her apartment on Saturday, they told WSVN 7News it had been trashed and they found blood on a pillow.
"Just her things in her room were kind of scattered," cousin Caili Sue said. "Her jewelry was on the ground."
