But detectives never found anyone named Cassidy who lived in that area or

even had a connection to Jermaine.

The police kind of considered that maybe she invented Cassidy as another way to hide Jacob from Michael.

Police did go on to check Jacob's alibi.

That was rock solid.

He wasn't even in Montana the night she disappeared.

So as days tick by with no word from Jermaine, Michael was looking more and more suspicious.

Crazy what happens when jobs are done as they should be.

This key piece of evidence is our third clue.

On June 27th, 11 days into the search, police get Jermaine's cell phone records.

And right away, they see something pretty concerning.

Between 2 a.m.

and 10 a.m.

on June 16th, so after Jermaine was last seen, her cell phone was pinging a tower in Evereau Hill.

This is a densely forested area at the southern end of the Flathead Reservation, north of Missoula.

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.
