One day, Nicole, Talena's friend in Tennessee, notices that Corey is selling things that had been in Talena's house.

Aside from just some trinkets and collectibles, they saw some of Talena's most treasured belongings for sale.

Nicole's cousin wins the bid. Corey packs up the wedding ring and some of Tom's military medals and ships it off. Nicole's cousin then forwards the package to her. Armed with this evidence, Nicole contacts the cops. So does Jess. But the response they get is not as enthusiastic as they hoped.

It's been 22 days since Talena's cryptic Facebook post. From the perspective of the online sleuths, the cops aren't doing anything.

But Jess and the others aren't privy to what's going on behind the scenes. On April 29th, Detective Joel Weber and a colleague go to Talena's property, a brown, rustic lake house set back from the road. Corey invites them in and gives them a tour. It's the first time law enforcement has gone inside the house. She shows them around the living areas and the bedrooms where she and Talena slept.

Corey shows Weber around the yard, the garage, and then he leaves. Meanwhile, the sheriff's office is being inundated with tips from friends, locals, psychics, and the online sleuths. And a large number of them point at Corey. About a week later, Detective Weber asks Corey to come back into the station to address some of the rumors that have been circulating.
