Both Ashley and Laura snuck out the back door of the trailer, but they didn't know where to go. Laura's car was out front, but so were Phil's accomplices, David and Ronnie. They were also out in the middle of nowhere on a 40-acre property.

So after running out the back door of the trailer, Ashley and Laura decided that the best thing they could do was run out into the field and lay down on the ground. So that's what they did. It's horrible to think about the fear that was running through their bodies in that moment. For Ashley, she had just heard her parents get murdered.

And now these three men were running through, ransacking the trailer. While inside, Phil, David, and Ronnie stole money, marijuana, and anything of value they could get their hands on. According to Ronnie, Phil then instructed them to grab the container of gasoline and pour it throughout the house. And they did as they were told. Over the next few minutes, Ronnie and David doused the home

They poured it all over the kitchen, the wood stove, and the living room. Then, Phil reportedly lit the match and threw it down. For a moment before leaving, Phil, David, and Ronnie watched the fire, making sure the flames were spreading throughout the trailer. And once they were satisfied, they were going to leave.

But sadly, out in the fields after seeing the trailer go up in flames, the girls' first instinct was that they needed to get out of there. Perhaps they thought that the men were gone, or maybe they heard them walking nearby. So together, they stood up and began running, running as fast as they possibly could. But it's here where Phil Welch spotted them. Ashley and Laura did their best to escape,

but with three grown men on their tails, they were eventually tackled to the ground. And sadly, instead of killing them right then and there, Phil had another idea. The men threw the girls into the back of his vehicle and from there, they made the 30 minute drive to Phil's meth house in Pitcher, Oklahoma.

Once there, Phil put the girls in a back room, shoved socks into their mouth and tied them up. Over the next couple of days, They were brutally raped and tortured. Horrifically, Ronnie Busick said that the girls could have been held in captivity for weeks. He couldn't really remember.

But during that time, Phil Welch even forced the girls to do meth and he took Polaroid pictures of the entire thing. However, he knew he couldn't keep them forever. With his heavy meth usage also came paranoia. And when the case started gaining traction, he decided to kill them.
