But there was this like card instructing whoever finds the wallet to call Jones' dad's office.

So they call him.

He calls the police.

And when they hear about this, they're worried right away because this marsh area where her stuff was found, it is a known dumping ground, like for trash, for stolen stuff, and for bodies.

So they go out to meet this fisherman and they search the area.

And not too far from where he had found the wallet, they find Joan's red leather pocketbook with her checkbook inside.

And this is a bad situation.

Because of the location, because of how the items were scattered, police wonder if someone could have thrown Joan's things out the window of a moving car as they passed on this highway.

It runs right over this area.

And if that's what happened, finding Joan and whoever took her might be even harder than anyone thought because they're now four days out from anyone last seeing her.

And who knows where she could be now?

Oh, for her stuff to be there.

Yeah, exactly.

And they focus a lot of their attention and early searches around the airport specifically and that marsh area.

And they really do pull out all the stops.

We're talking officers, dogs, helicopters, even scuba divers to comb the river by the marsh.

But there is no sign of Joan or anything else.

No, that's the thing.

So this is like in the complete opposite direction, which is what I think makes people even more certain that if someone intercepted Joan, it was more likely at the airport than anywhere else.

Because they also start finding witnesses who say that they saw her there.
