While they scrambled to call the police and keep Jared from doing anything else, their minds flooded with all the little weird things Jared had been doing for a while now.

At work the night before, his father noticed some odd things.

When Jared wasn't laid off, he was an electrician.

And the company he worked for had a contract with Home Depot.

The night before the murder, he was supposed to work at two different store locations.

At the first one, Rodney noticed Jared was just off.

Other than that oddity, the rest of the job went fine.

Afterwards, they headed to the second location.

The store was closed by then, and the manager had to meet them at the door to let them in.

That's when Rodney learned that Jared had gone to the two locations out of order.

Another uncharacteristic mistake by Jared.

Eventually, Jared found the work order.

He and his dad got the job done.

He read the blueprints, followed the instructions, and everything went the way it should.

But something still felt off.

Jared wasn't acting like himself, and on the drive home, his dad noticed.

Rodney took Jared's comment as a good sign that he was getting over whatever it was that was bothering him.

Both Rodney and Lynn had noticed the change in their son over the last few months.

And it all started with the death of his best friend.

It shook him.
