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.

Corey tells Detective Weber that she became good friends with a man who lived next door. And one day, this neighbor gave Corey his wife's credit card to use so she could get some groceries and gas. He said Corey could pay him back later.

Corey says at first she was booked for a misdemeanor, but the wife was making a lot of fuss, and so they elevated the charges to a felony. Ultimately, she says, it never went to trial. She got two years probation. It was all a big misunderstanding.
