Just the dark and eerily quiet woods.

They tried calling Tripp, but by then his phone was going straight to voicemail.

So not knowing what else to do, they started looking for their son themselves with flashlights and an app that Gil used to make a search grid.

And they just began walking back and forth in the woods yelling Tripp's name.

And while doing this, they don't see a soul.

Again, not Tripp, but maybe more concerningly, not a single deputy.

Yeah, where is everyone who was looking for him?

So per body cam timestamps and Bynum's own narrative report,

It seems like he and Kinney are towing Tripp's four-wheeler to the sheriff's office at this point.

And the sheriff's office is like six-ish miles away.

I don't know who else is supposed to be out there looking or where exactly they are.

All I know is that Jennifer said when her and Gil arrived, they were searching by themselves for a long time.

They said hours.

In all that time, they said they never saw any deputies.

And they're just confused and looking around on their own until Gil gets a call from Sergeant Kinney.

According to Bynum's report, this call is made right around 2.15 a.m., which lines up with what the Brazils remember, too.

A small city.

I mean, actually, Gil used to be in law enforcement.

He actually trained Kenny back in the day.

Oh.
