Oh, wait. That looks like a car. >> Yeah, so that's their first sighting of Patrick's missing Land Rover. By day
00:00:06
three of the investigation, this is now April 14th, major crimes detectives are pretty sure they're dealing with foul
00:00:13
play. And they put eagle-eyed searchers up in a helicopter. And Brett, when I say eagle-eyed, like
00:00:18
just you wait, I'm going to be testing your eyesight in a minute. And while they're up in the air, detectives work
00:00:23
to search the wooded area on the ground while they wait for their search warrant
00:00:27
on the house to go through that. And Brett, this terrain is wild. And I mean that in the literal sense of the word.
00:00:34
>> yeah, I'm picturing Western Washington, like mountains, rivers, woods. Beautiful, but like really vast, really
00:00:41
dangerous scenery. >> Yeah, it is rugged on the ground. There's like also huge canopy's of trees
00:00:46
up above from the sky, like covering all of that. Plus, remember, add the whole Oso landslide debris stuff [music] on
00:00:54
top of this. I actually have some footage if you want to take a look at it over here.
00:00:58
Once the heli folks radio major crimes, they get out there on foot. But it's a struggle just to get down to where the
00:01:05
car is because it's a steep treed hillside and the Land Rover is fully like nose down, 90° and it's stuck on a
00:01:14
stump. It's immediately clear that someone tried to cover the car up with like brush and debris, also a
00:01:20
camouflaged tarp. >> Oh, okay. Yeah, and guess what else they see below the car? Exactly 268 ft
00:01:27
further down is Monique's Jeep laying on its side. So, both cars look as though someone pushed them over the upper
00:01:34
cliff's edge and just like let them tumble down, like a game of Hot Wheels or Dominos or something. But Patrick's
00:01:39
car, the Land Rover, that's the one that got stuck on the stump. So, interestingly, there is this wooden 4 by
00:01:45
4 post weirdly positioned, [music] but it looks like someone was trying to like use it as a jack to get the car unstuck
00:01:52
from the stump that it's dangling from. Oh my god. I mean, this scene is obviously no good, but I'm I'm kind of
00:01:58
bracing myself for what they're going to find inside the cars. Well, detectives are bracing themselves too, but what
00:02:04
they find is not what they or you probably expected.
