Police arrived at Aaron's home and what they found there was shocking. Blood soaked sofa, blood spatter, shattered glass. Within hours, though, police found Ellie and they found her alive and seemingly unharmed. She was walking on the street with her boyfriend, Gavin McFarlane, and his friend, Russell Jones. But Aaron Fryer was still missing. Natalie, thanks for joining us to talk about this case.
