According to the affidavit, Laura Bible and Ashley Freeman were alive six days after the trailer fire. And for days, it was reported that they were drugged, raped, and tortured by various men. And it was apparently all on video. Now, the location where this was allegedly happening was at the home of a man named Chester Shadwich.

Chester was known for throwing wild parties, parties where tweakers would smoke meth and stay up for days on end. Some informants even admitted that Chester had bragged about burying the bodies of Laura and Ashley on his property. So in 2001, the OSBI obtained a search warrant. And during their search, they even found a bunch of VHS tapes. But nothing of significance was ever found on them.

There were also no bodies on his property. So unfortunately, investigators were back at square one.

And sadly, from here, the case began to grow cold. For six whole months, Lorraine Bible didn't receive one single tip, which was heartbreaking. Soon enough, 2001 turned to 2002, and they were no closer to solving the case. The disappearance of their daughter had completely taken over their lives. How are you supposed to work or eat when your own flesh and blood is out there somewhere?

How are you supposed to go on when you haven't seen your daughter in two whole years, when you don't know what happened to them? But Lorene was not going to give up. She still kept her porch light on every single night. She still had that Christmas tree up, completely untouched. And they say that time heals all wounds.

But even two years later, the town of Welch was still feeling the impact of these crimes. That year, Ashley and Laura's class graduated high school and their absence was felt by everyone. The community was still feeling a sense of paranoia, knowing that whoever did this was still out there. Laura's cousin, Missy Dixon, stated, "'I feel silly for saying this, "'but I felt really paranoid.'"
