Detective said that this was like very emotional for them. I mean they'd been going non-stop for 6
00:00:06
weeks and along the way they felt like they'd really gotten to know Patrick and Monique through their loved ones. And
00:00:12
but they sounded like legit the coolest couple. They met at Burning Man. They loved their little slice of paradise on
00:00:20
the river where they had a hobby farm and just like worshipped their animals. And I know I mentioned Monique was like
00:00:26
buying chicken feed. So they had chickens and roosters. They're not for butchering or eating. Those were
00:00:30
Monique's pets. They also loved fly fishing and hiking and camping and they were just like this
00:00:36
very calm and steady presence within their families. Now when investigators find Patrick and Monique
00:00:43
they're in the same grave wearing the same clothes that they were last seen in. And both family members that we
00:00:50
interviewed for this episode, that was Monique's foster sister Vi and Patrick's niece Erin, they said the same thing
00:00:56
that after they saw the crime scene photos that it looked like they were cuddling when they were found. And while
00:01:03
they can never unsee that image they said it actually brought them some peace to know that they were together till the
00:01:09
very end.
