00:00:00
And Sierra picks them up, like this is
00:00:02
when panic sets in because
00:00:04
both phones show a welcome screen. That
00:00:07
backdrop that you see when a device is
00:00:09
brand new. Except we know these aren't
00:00:12
new.
00:00:13
And Sierra realizes that they have been
00:00:15
factory reset, like wiped clean. And
00:00:18
when she tries to log into Melissa's
00:00:20
iCloud, it seems like the password has
00:00:24
been changed. So from the house, Sierra
00:00:27
frantically calls her dad. He's not far
00:00:29
behind. He'd caught a ride with a
00:00:31
co-worker. So whatever's going on, they
00:00:33
can figure it out together when he gets
00:00:34
home. And when he gets there, he walks
00:00:37
through the property with a different
00:00:38
lens. Mark told us that he is a hunter
00:00:40
and a professional outfitter, someone
00:00:42
who takes paying clients through back
00:00:44
country terrain. So he like knows how to
00:00:46
read the land. And right away, he began
00:00:49
looking for signs of a struggle. Well,
00:00:51
Melissa's tough and she's not someone
00:00:53
who would have gone down without a
00:00:54
fight. If someone forced her out of the
00:00:56
house, there would be evidence of it.
00:00:59
But there isn't.
00:01:00
Nothing is missing [music]
00:01:02
and the only thing that catches his eye
00:01:04
is an unfamiliar set of tire tracks
00:01:06
[music] in the driveway, but they share
00:01:08
that driveway with a neighbor. Now from
00:01:09
what he can tell, he says they're still
00:01:11
unknown, maybe not the neighbor's car,
00:01:12
but they look like they might have come
00:01:14
from a Jeep. Not knowing what else to
00:01:16
do, Mark picks up the phone and calls
00:01:18
New Mexico [music] State Police Dispatch
00:01:20
right around 5:00 p.m.
