It also happens to be where Michael was living at the time.

And everyone's alarm bells are, like, going off even more.

And so when police confront Michael about this...

Can you guess what he does?

He changes his story again.

He said that Jermaine forgot her phone in his car.

He said he wanted to go through her phone and read her messages, but he didn't know the code to unlock it.

So he claimed that he broke it in frustration.

And then two days later, on Monday, June 18th,

He threw her phone out of his truck at mile marker 94 on Highway 12.

This is near a place called Three Devils Creek in Idaho.

It's 137 miles southwest from where Michael was now living with his family, like an insanely far distance.

You broke it.

It's not your phone.

Police end up going to this area.

They search for the phone.

Of course, they never find it.

And if you're thinking this seems extremely suspicious, well, police had the same exact thought.

Because the more they looked into Michael and his relationship with Jermaine, the more they realized just how toxic it was.

And that Michael could be their main suspect.
