Annie Elise

However, concerns started when she suddenly stopped showing up for work, and when she stopped responding to calls and text messages altogether around November 29th.

By December 2nd, when coworkers and family still couldn't reach her,

the police were asked to do a welfare check at her home.

And when the officers arrived at her house, it was unlocked, but there was nobody inside.

There were also no signs of a struggle, no signs of a rushed exit, but there was also no indication that she planned to come back.

It was just silence that they were met with.

So as investigators dug deeper, they ended up speaking with her ex-husband, Kendall, who said he had absolutely no clue that she was planning any of this.

He said that the only contact that he had even had with her throughout all of this was a voicemail that he received from her on December 2nd, the same day that the police conducted that welfare check.

And in that voicemail, she said that the kids were in France and that she planned to get permanent residency there before the, quote, end times.

But up until that moment, he didn't even know that the kids had been taken out of the country.

So investigators say that she also left behind notes that suggested that she intended to completely disappear.

Those notes allegedly included instructions to destroy identifying documents, shred photographs, get rid of her cell phone, switch to prepaid phones to avoid being tracked.

I mean, an effort to just go completely off the grid.

Her ex-husband Kendall also said that she left behind a note that seemed like it was, quote, "...delusional messages from God, promising that she would be in Italy by Christmas."

And this is where her end times beliefs really started to come into focus.

See, she posted tons of videos on TikTok explaining what she believed to be signs of the end of times.

And these videos?

I'll be honest with you, they don't sit right.

They're a little bit unhinged.

I mean, most of them are anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes long.
