00:00:00
and no one else in the family has anything more to offer. Everyone else says that they didn't see or hear from
00:00:05
the couple that day. So, police have to move on to searching the house, starting
00:00:10
with John and Shel's bedroom. There they see what Ruth saw, clothes on the bed, but they also noticed that the suit on
00:00:19
the bed is new. So, we they made it to the mall. Like, that was the plan. They had already gone
00:00:26
and come back by the time they went missing, right? But they don't know if that was
00:00:31
that day or it could have even been the day before. I mean, it's not like the aunt knew that they were going to pick
00:00:36
the suit up that that morning. You know what I mean? She was just like grasping for straws.
00:00:40
Oh, he wanted this. That maybe that's where they went. Yeah. Maybe that's why they're MIA. And
00:00:45
I kind of think it happened before that morning, but I'll get to that in a second just based on timeline stuff.
00:00:51
Police note the gun cabinet in the room, too. And then they see a small safe that
00:00:56
John and Shel usually kept in the closet is now lying open on the bathroom counter. Jon and Shel's important papers
00:01:03
like their marriage license, kids' birth certificate. They're kind of scattered across the sink. And police aren't sure
00:01:09
what all of that means, but they ask Ruth if anything is missing from the gun cabinet. Now, Ruth and other family
00:01:16
members aren't sure. Like, I mean, like I said, Ruth had never even seen it. And
00:01:20
the oldest, right? John never unlocks it, especially around the kids. But Ruth does think
00:01:24
that her dad had three guns and that two of them, a gun and a rifle, might be missing.
