Slowly but surely, they were beginning to get an idea of what happened here. But there was still one question that remained. Where were Ashley and Laura?

During the initial investigation, authorities also failed to search Laura's Corsica in the driveway, even though it was unlocked. Volunteers searched the vehicle, but unfortunately, nothing significant was found. By January 1st, 2000, Laureen and Jay Bible had organized a search of the 40-acre property. With the help of the local radio station, Maureen encouraged everyone to come out and help.

And their community really showed up. Nearly 500 volunteers arrived at the property, ready to help. And for days, they all searched on foot and horseback. People even brought canoes to search the creek behind the trailer. But unfortunately, there was no sign of Ashley or Laura. They also didn't find any clues that could help in the investigation.

It seemed as if the two girls had simply vanished into thin air. But the community wasn't going to give up just yet. Volunteers started printing thousands of missing persons flyers to put up around town. But it's around this time when Kathy Freeman's mother, Celeste Chandler, introduced a controversial theory as to what may have happened.

And, considering how horribly the department handled the investigation, some people still believe this theory. Now, one would think that after mishandling the case so badly in the beginning that investigators would work hard to do better. But sadly, that wasn't the case.

And something they were concerned about was getting Ashley and Laura's information entered into the National Crime Information Center, which is essentially a database where you can upload the information of missing persons and any law enforcement agency around the country can access it. And on January 6th, Laureen and Jay were told that Ashley and Laura's info had been uploaded to it.
