Oh yeah.

Makes it much worse.

Yeah.

So, but all of a sudden, a seemingly unrelated case brought Zeb's disappearance back to the front pages all over North Carolina, not just in Asheville.

On March 15th, 2015, Christy Codd's father became worried when he hadn't heard from his daughter and couldn't get a hold of her husband, JT, either.

He called Christy's neighbor, Cecilia Owens, who he knew had a key to their house, and he said, can you just check on Christy?

She's five months pregnant.

I want to make sure she's okay.

Cecilia said, Oh, no.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Which Ma and I used to watch all the time.

We used to watch that constantly.

Yeah.

So I'm sure we saw her season.

Now, obviously, that gave her a certain amount of notoriety around this area.

And that led to her disappearance gaining maybe more attention than it otherwise might have.

A day after the story appeared in papers, police got an anonymous call where it was reported that somebody had been setting fires around the house next to the Codd's home.

What the fuck?

And that they'd left a lot of suspicious debris in a dumpster.
