And then there was also this, which in some ways is the most disturbing of it all. The whole time she was recounting the details of her husband's violent abduction, she never once checked on her five young kids, who were all still asleep in their room right next to where the intruders had supposedly snatched Samantha and Ernie from their beds.
So obviously, Samantha's behavior was raising some eyebrows. But for at least the immediate aftermath of this home invasion and abduction, at least until proven otherwise, she was still a victim. So investigators had to put her suspicious behavior aside and act on the little information that they had and the very real possibility that Ernie had been abducted and his life was in danger.
Most people that knew Ernie saw a dedicated and hardworking young dad who was working two jobs to support his family. One at a wooden bat manufacturer and another covering the night shift at Little Caesars. But police also knew that given Ernie's past, he was not unfamiliar with the darker side of Titus County.
But remember, there was a good reason to believe that Ernie knew his attackers, or at least they knew him. Because according to Samantha, they referred to him by name and to his father, Big Ernie.
But there was no sign of Ernie or his kidnappers at either his father's home or grandfather's house, and neither was able to offer any clue to Ernie's whereabouts.
Along with taking care of the kids, Samantha hosted a YouTube channel where she mostly posted makeup tutorials and beauty tips.
But recently, her videos had gotten more personal and more popular as she shared details of her home life, her marriage, and the challenges of raising five kids.
In fact, not long before she'd filed a complaint with local police after a recent argument, accusing Ernie of being physical with her. However, no charges were ever filed against him.
But, you know, I'm sitting here listening to what she is posting on YouTube. You're still married, but you're talking about the difficulties in your marriage. Now, there's one thing to talk about things openly and try to support other people and this online community. But you also start to wonder, is she starting to paint a purposeful picture? And I don't know.
I think I can see this going both ways because we just don't know if her claims about Ernie, whether they were true or untrue.
She took a nap. Not exactly what you'd expect from the grieving and traumatized wife of a man who had recently been kidnapped and who had five young kids in the mix, and not with her at present. Those kids alone, you'd think, and would hope would cause audible concern.
By the time she was interviewed by investigators, Samantha once again found herself in the center of the spotlight.
Up to this point, Samantha had denied recognizing any of the men who tied her up and abducted her husband. But now she was being asked to speculate.
Samantha had met Sanford through her friend, Charla, and even knew exactly where they both were at that very minute.
And from there, in response, Samantha started naming names, revealing that she may know one or more of the men involved in the abduction of her husband.
As for Samantha, she was attempting to distance herself from Sanford and the assault against her husband. In this recorded audio, you can hear how quickly her demeanor has changed from being defiant, almost bored, to being this tearful, scared informant.
At the sheriff's office, Sanford seemed to know that the jig was up and was surprisingly cooperative, quickly admitting his relationship with Samantha and the fact that he had been to her and Ernie's home.
Sanford proceeded to lead the other men inside. But according to him, the planned beating quickly got out of hand.
The three men put Ernie's unconscious body into the back of Samantha's truck. Considering the viciousness of the beating and the attacker's lack of mercy, the ending seemed inevitable.
It was only then that detectives in Titus County could confirm that Ernie Ibarra was deceased and the cause of death was homicide.
