Hidden in Heidi's calls and texts might be all the answers that her family is looking for. And that phone, still
00:00:07
playing music, was near her head when her dad found her. So, police collected it and asked her parents for the
00:00:13
passcode. But, Mike and Janis are kind of taken back. Like, passcode? Heidi's not
00:00:18
supposed to have a passcode. They have a house rule against it. >> Mhm. But, detectives tell them the
00:00:23
phone's locked. So, they like toss out some guesses, police try them, but nothing works. the phone disables
00:00:31
completely. And there's just something that feels wrong about this. You see, after Mike found his daughter, Francisco
00:00:39
had asked Mike to use Heidi's phone so that he could call the advisor who ran her explorer post.
00:00:46
>> Call them for what? And also, use your own phone? >> Mike didn't know why he was asking. I
00:00:52
mean, he had in that moment zero brain space to even consider the weirdness of the request. Yeah, I mean, he just found
00:00:58
his daughter. >> 1,000%. >> was able to place that call, presumably without having a passcode to open the
00:01:05
phone, which means Francisco locked the phone. Yeah. And there is only one reason that you would need to do that.
00:01:13
And that is if you don't want anyone to see what's on it.
