Yes, he definitely loves his children and loves me. And I know that's his biggest concern is for all of us. And our biggest concern is him. So we're all supporting each other and just sticking by one another.

That's simply not true. I had no interaction or contact with Mark since the protection order was issued. It's not something I wanted to have any involvement with Mark. Again, I wanted no harm or anything to happen to Mark. I just wanted to go on with my life with Michael, and I wanted Mark to go on with his life.

Of course not.

Simultaneously, Linda calls me, and she's pretty agitated, somewhat frantic, actually.

She said an employee of Stover had just called her and said that the police were there, that Mark is missing, There's blood at the scene and the dog's been shot. And she's very frantic and she's saying, we're not sure what's going on. And we've not ruled out the possibility that some type of violence happened at his house by him, not onto him. And he's now, he snapped and he's coming over here.

This is what she's conveying to me anyhow. And I said, are you there by yourself? And she said, no, that Oakes was there. And I said, well, you should be fine. But if you don't, maybe you guys should leave the house and go stay with your mother or somewhere else. She goes, that's a good idea. That's what we're going to do.

So we drove up to the house, and normally when we were going there to train with her dog, Her camera system or possibly a sensor would say someone's coming up the driveway. She would always be out on the outside, on the deck or whatever.

I tried calling her on the phone and no answer. Yet her car was there, Oak's car was there, lights were on, no answer.

I'm like, we're going to have to go. Maybe something has happened now. Maybe Stover did come to the house in between the time that I talked to her. So we need to go to the house. So we go and knock on the door.
