Now that Chad was arrested, the only priority was finding the missing couple.

There were still a few places the police hadn't searched, Chad's rental properties.

After he was arrested, Chad gave police the address where he said the couple was being held.

When police showed up, it looked like a construction zone.

The surfaces were covered in sawdust and power tools.

The doors were taken off their hinges, and there was a ladder in the middle of the living room.

But it also looked like someone had been squatting there.

There was trash everywhere, plates of half-eaten food, electronic wires and cables dangled from the outlets.

Police searched every room, but no one seemed to be in the house.

Then they double-checked the bedroom, where they took a closer look at a computer monitor laying on the floor.

It appeared to show a surveillance feed, six live feed images of a windowless room where two figures were lying on a mattress covered by blankets.

On the wall next to them were hooks and shackles.

There was a secret room somewhere in this house, and Chad's victims were in there.

The night of Chad's arrest, police began searching one of his rental properties for a secret room, a dungeon, where he was holding two people captive.

From what they could see on the surveillance feed, it was a windowless room somewhere in the house.

The couple was lying motionless on a mattress.

It wasn't clear if they were alive.

But then one of the FBI agents moved a dresser in the closet and lifted up a piece of carpeting to reveal a locked steel hatch.

Police used bolt cutters to open the door.

They found an eight-foot drop into a dark, windowless room, and they went in.
