It was clear that Stacy had not been home to let them out.

Stacy's family began looking for her and her car.

What had happened on her way home from the gas station?

They didn't find her car or any signs of car accidents along the route.

So they reported Stacy missing to the police.

Stacy's family kept doing their own digging, too.

Corey Stanley went back to the gas station to see if any of the employees had seen anything.

They remembered Stacy, but didn't know if she left with anyone.

The caller said Stacy's car was parked on the side of the road, just a few streets over from the abandoned houses on Colvert Court.

By this point, Stacy had been missing for three days.

Curtis realized the driver's seat was all the way back.

When Corey looked inside the car, he noticed something else was off.

He picked up her ashtray.

Stacy's family kept searching for her.

After crisscrossing Ashland and the roads leading to Greenwich, they got a group of volunteers together.

One evening, some of the volunteers even went up to the abandoned houses on Colvert Court.

Stacy's family didn't know that one of these run-down houses near the laundromat was not actually empty.

And they didn't know that the disappearance of their beloved mom, grandmother, and sister was just one event in a new disturbing trend in Ashland, Ohio.

About three weeks earlier, 29-year-old Elizabeth Griffith had gone missing.

And on September 11th, three days after Stacy was last seen at the gas station, Jane Doe was held captive and assaulted inside one of those abandoned houses by the laundromat.
