Sure enough, it was Christina Nelson and Brandy Miller. A year and a half after the women went missing, the police finally had some answers, just not the ones they wanted. Christina Nelson and Brandy Miller's case was now a murder investigation. Detectives brought Frank in for another round of questioning, this time as an official suspect. He repeated his claims.

He didn't see or hear Nelson, Brandy, or Stephen come into the theater that night. But given the layout of the building and where Frank said he was sleeping, that seems nearly impossible. Investigators kept pressing. Frank was nervous and fidgety. Every time he repeated his story, details changed. Detectives still thought he was hiding something.

But they didn't have any physical evidence to tie him to Nelson and Brandy's murders. Without that, they needed a confession. And Frank wasn't going to give one. So once again, Frank was free to go. This frustrated the police, especially after they looked into Frank's past. It doesn't paint him in a very good light.

For example, his acquaintances recalled that a woman he once dated died by suicide. Frank was the one who discovered her body. At the time, her loved ones wrote it off as an unexplainable tragedy. But as news came out about the Lewis-Clark Valley murders, they noticed it was awfully suspicious that so much violence and death surrounded one man. They wondered if Frank was capable of murder.

There's also the fact that Frank had a criminal record in California. While he was living there, a 17-year-old girl died under suspicious circumstances. A day or two later, Frank was arrested for breaking into the funeral home where her body was being kept. He'd been carrying a hunting knife. His behavior didn't improve, even after the police interrogated him.

At some point in the mid-1980s, Frank put his house up for sale. A local woman came to check it out. It went fine, except that he kept insisting she come see the basement. Eventually, she agreed and they headed down. On their way down, she turned around to say something to him, and he quickly dropped his arm. He was holding something raised above his head.

He tried to play it off, but she told him to show her his hands. Reluctantly, he revealed a bedpost finial. It's not an obvious weapon, but the woman was terrified. She later said she couldn't help but think if she hadn't turned around at just the right moment, Frank might have murdered her. So the community and the police never stopped considering Frank a suspect.

They couldn't shake their suspicion, but they also couldn't find any proof. Then, in 1990, a man named John Jeffers took over as the Esoton County Sheriff. Bright-eyed and determined, he hoped to solve the area's most haunting cold cases. And he wanted to try something different. See, up until this point, all the investigations were handled by different agencies.

Christina White's case was under the jurisdiction of the Esoton County Sheriff's Department. Kristen David's was split between various local, state, and federal agencies. And the Civic Theater trio was in the hands of the Lewiston PD. Not an efficient way to run things.

Sheriff Jeffers was all too aware, especially because, as far as he could tell, law enforcement organizations were all looking at the same person of interest, Frank. The Assotin County Sheriff's Department and Lewiston PD agreed to pool their resources in hopes of finding a breakthrough. And that's when they got a tip that sent shivers down their spines.
