But when they go back to the family to fact-check this...

At least according to them, Tommy and Darlene never show up on the 23rd.

And we confirmed this with the family today.

They don't remember either Tommy or Darlene being with their group on that day after she went missing.

So I ask again, what are they doing then?

The million dollar question.

But as far as our records could uncover, one that no one seems to find an answer to.

Though you can see why police spent so much time digging into these two.

So by early 2002, police were running any and all reports that they could on this couple.

They're looking for anything, and I mean anything.

And paying attention to details matters because in doing this, police looked to see if there were any driving infractions.

And like both had some come up, but like none for the dates in question, whatever.

But something did stand out to one of the detectives.

It was a speeding ticket that Tommy got on October 7th, 2001, and he got it near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.

Seems totally unrelated, right?

Yeah.

But it sounds like they didn't recognize the car he was in.

So they run the plates and it comes back to an auto leasing company at an address in Dayton.

So they pull the address up on MapQuest, throwback, and you won't freaking believe it.

Catalpa.
