The group made the roughly hour-long drive from Anadarko to Awachiki's apartment in Norman, Oklahoma. And when they pulled up, their feelings of unease only grew. They saw that the door was slightly open from having been kicked in. They could tell because there was a shoe print on the door and the frame was splintered. So Tony and the group didn't even go in. They called police instead.

As soon as Norman police officers got inside, they saw cabinets and drawers left open and stuff everywhere. But when they called out to see if anyone was home, no one answered. It was in an upstairs bedroom that police found Awachigi. She was laying on the floor, face down, with her sheets and comforter tossed over her head.

They checked for signs of life, but she had clearly been dead for a while, though it wasn't entirely clear how she had died because there were no visible wounds. In her room, the bed looked as if someone stripped it in a hurry. The mattress was bare except for three pillows, one of which had blood on it. And there were clothes and stuff tossed all around the room.

In fact, the rest of the house was a mess as well. It looked as if the living room, kitchen, and bedroom had all been ransacked. They found another bloody pillow stuffed in a dresser in the bedroom. But when they went searching for Awatagee's cell phone and stuff like her cash and cards, they couldn't find any of that in the apartment.

So they were obviously wondering if someone had robbed the place. Officers secured the scene and went outside to tell Awachiki's friends what they'd found. But it was what they didn't find that concerned Toni and her friends the most because police didn't mention anything about finding anyone else in the home. And Toni knew that Awachiki lived with her five-year-old daughter.

Immediately, officers started looking for the young girl. They weren't sure if they were dealing with an abduction or what, but the first place they checked, the first place any investigator checks when a child is missing is with their living parents or guardians. And Tony and Awachigi's other friends said that her dad lived back in Anadarko.

Sure enough, when officers tracked him down, they found the young girl and determined that she was safe. Still, they weren't sure what involvement Owachige's ex could have had in her murder since they knew the two had recently divorced and had gone through custody hearings. So they brought him in for an interview.
