14. 0:21there's it's like it's vanished like
15. 0:22she's not like when i got home yesterday
16. 0:24it was like a ghost town
17. 0:26like she wasn't here kids weren't here
18. 0:29i have no idea like where they went and
19. 0:32it doesn't it's just earth shattering i
20. 0:34don't feel like this is even real right
21. 0:35now it's like a nightmare that i just
22. 0:37can't wake up from
23. 0:40chris when did you learn that they got
24. 0:43there they weren't here
25. 0:44i guess well i'd text her a few times
26. 0:47and called her i didn't get a response
27. 0:48which that was a little off and then her
28. 0:51friend
29. 0:52nicole showed up about a little
30. 0:54afternoon i could see on the doorbell
31. 0:55camera
32. 0:56and i was like hey what's going on just
33. 0:58i can't get a hold of shenan and
34. 0:59that's when i was just like all right
35. 1:01something's not right if she's not
36. 1:02answering the door
37. 1:03you said the car was here it's like i
38. 1:05gotta go home
39. 1:06and we got here got inside and not
40. 1:09nobody was here
41. 1:10not nothing and so i read that
42. 1:14shenanigans
43. 1:15to school yeah because like bella was
44. 1:18going to start kindergarten
45. 1:20next next monday and they they were just
46. 1:23getting ready to start
47. 1:24start back again and so what kind of
48. 1:28so your friend nicole kind of tipped you
49. 1:30off at something
50. 1:31yeah because like she was here at the
51. 1:33front door and
52. 1:35that's when i kind of knew okay like if
53. 1:36she's not answering anybody else either
54. 1:38this is
55. 1:38this isn't like her because i mean she
56. 1:41she works at direct sales business
57. 1:43and that's her that that's what she does
58. 1:46and for her not to respond to any of her
59. 1:48people that i mean if she doesn't
60. 1:50respond to me that's fine i mean like
61. 1:51she's busy she's got stuff going on
62. 1:53but not to respond to her people though
63. 1:55that was that was not like her
64. 1:59chris you've got a beautiful family you
65. 2:01know and it looks like you all love each
66. 2:02other very much what went through your
67. 2:04mind
68. 2:05the minute kind of you're like
69. 2:06something's wrong like i i was trying to
70. 2:09get home as fast as i can i was blowing
71. 2:10through stop lights i was pulling
72. 2:11through everything just trying to get
73. 2:12home as fast as i can because none of
74. 2:14this made sense
75. 2:15like if she wasn't here like where did
76. 2:17she go like
77. 2:18once i got here it was like all right
78. 2:20who can i call
79. 2:22who do i know that she could be with
80. 2:24right now if she went to a friend's
81. 2:25house
82. 2:26where could she be staying and we went
83. 2:28through everybody i mean
84. 2:30just everything in my in my contact list
85. 2:33and her
86. 2:34friend's contact list and nothing has
87. 2:37come up everybody has said like
88. 2:38they haven't heard from her either i'm
89. 2:40just hoping right now that she's
90. 2:42somewhere safe and maybe she's just
91. 2:47she's there but right now it's just like
92. 2:50if she's banished like i want her back
93. 2:52so bad i want those kids back so bad
94. 2:56um you know i wanted to ask you a little
95. 2:59bit about the hard part your first
96. 3:00thought is where are they i want them
97. 3:03back your second thought is you know
98. 3:05your friends were telling you that
99. 3:06something you kind of hurt
100. 3:09you're also your second thought is that
101. 3:12you're afraid people think you may have
102. 3:13done something
103. 3:14yeah i mean nothing everybody's going to
104. 3:16have their own opinion on on
105. 3:18anything like this i just want them
106. 3:19people to know that i want my family
107. 3:21back
108. 3:21like i want them safe and i want them
109. 3:24here like this house is not the same
110. 3:27i mean i last night was traumatic last
111. 3:29night was
112. 3:30i can't really stay in this house again
113. 3:32like with nobody here
114. 3:35and last night i wanted i wanted that
115. 3:38knock on the door i wanted to see that i
116. 3:39wanted to see this kid just running
117. 3:41running just just barrel rushed me just
118. 3:43give me a hug and knock me on the ground
119. 3:45but that didn't happen who are you gonna
120. 3:47stay with tonight
121. 3:49probably my friends nick and amanda just
122. 3:51i mean
123. 3:52unless something develops in the next
124. 3:55next
125. 3:55hours or so like i'm hoping that
126. 3:58somebody
127. 3:59sees something or somebody knows
128. 4:01something and
129. 4:02comes forward what's the hardest part of
130. 4:05all of this for you
131. 4:06not knowing like if they're safe or
132. 4:09if they're in trouble like there's a
133. 4:11stat
134. 4:12it's that variable like i'm not sure i
135. 4:14mean i can't do anything right now from
136. 4:15where i'm at
137. 4:16like i'm not sure if they're safe
138. 4:17somewhere just huddle up somewhere
139. 4:20or if they're in trouble and
140. 4:23knowing that if they could be in trouble
141. 4:24it it just
142. 4:26it's earth shattering right now and it
143. 4:28doesn't feel like it's real
144. 4:30the weird part of all this it sounds
145. 4:31like everything's kind of locked up
146. 4:32there's no signs of them leaving the
147. 4:34house
148. 4:35no like we have camera there neighbor
149. 4:37has a camera we i mean everything was
150. 4:41everything's checked out do you have a
151. 4:43camera
152. 4:44the doorbell only right there the
153. 4:47neighbor has one over there
154. 4:48were all the doors around the house
155. 4:50locked front door
156. 4:52was locked the garage door was unlocked
157. 4:54but that that's normal
158. 4:56for like when she comes in the house she
159. 4:58leaves it unlocked so she can come in
160. 5:00and out just in case you know
161. 5:02did you get in the garage door but the
162. 5:04back sliding door was locked as well
163. 5:06so how would she have left the house if
164. 5:08she did leave the house or anybody
165. 5:10i've i don't want to put anything out
166. 5:12there like just suspecting like if
167. 5:14something like somebody pulled in the
168. 5:15back
169. 5:15and because we have a driveway back
170. 5:17there from the new town homes but
171. 5:20it's so hard to tell like there's no
172. 5:22cameras in the backyard or anything like
173. 5:24that so
174. 5:24it's really hard to even suspect
175. 5:27anything right now as far as how she
176. 5:28could have left
177. 5:29or if someone came picked her up or
178. 5:31someone took her meanwhile today's
179. 5:33reality you've got cops there
180. 5:35cops here cops in your house k9 units
181. 5:38it's
182. 5:39i've never seen something like this in
183. 5:41my lifetime unless it was on tv or a
184. 5:43movie
185. 5:43and this this doesn't seem real at all
186. 5:46it just seems like i'm living in a
187. 5:48nightmare
188. 5:48and i can't get out of it i just want
189. 5:51them home so bad
190. 5:55um did you see your kids and your wife
