New to Skyrim - Question about missing wife

[Sumpthwyn]

Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked many times. I married Borgahk the Steel Heart and had her as a follower. She got bored and went home. I completed my mission and fast traveled. Then waited 18 hrs and she never showed. I did some smithing, cooking, alchemy and fast traveled 2 more times. She never showed. Went to her original home, no luck...although I did get to kill a dragon.

 

I have been able to get another follower and no courier has shown up with an inheritence letter.

 

Do you think she is dead? Or is this a glitch? Any help is appreciated!

Do you own more than one home? If so, make sure you check all of them. If she's not at ANY of them, and not in her original home ( Mor Khazgur) as you said (keep in mind she'll be in different locations throughout the day), you'll probably have to load a previous save to get her back.

 

You could check Markarth's Hall of the Dead to see if her corpse is there. I know her original home isn't in Markarth, but it's the closest Hall of the Dead.
