We turned the house upside-down more times than I can count. We haven't found any droppings, shed skin, or any other kind of 'hints' as to where she might be hiding. If she's inside, and dead, wouldn't we have started to smell something by now?

I can't imagine that she went outside, as there is only one place she could have(that I can think of), which is the window to the balcony(it's usually open because of the hose of the dryer). She isn't on the balcony, and if she fell off(5 stories) I would imagine her to be dead, and finding her body downstairs. - Unless she hid in a coat, and fell out when we were outside?

We have plenty of escaped crickets walking around, so we're hoping she's surviving on those. But if she is, we'd find droppings, right?

Turned off all the heaters, and put a heating pad in a corner behind the couch, but we haven't seen her yet. The only other place I can think of that generates heat is the water heater(small pilot light) in the bathroom, but she doesn't seem to be in there.

Does anyone know how we can get her to come out of her hiding spot somehow? Or places we should look that we might have missed? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
