They went to her last known address.

But when they got there, they were met with Sarah, who said that Samantha wasn't there and actually didn't live there anymore, though she did stay there from time to time.

At this point, officers had learned more information about the whole situation.

So while they had Sarah, they asked her more questions.

She ended up telling them that she was wearing the red and black Hy-Vee shirt that morning, even though she was never seen wearing it.

And Samantha was seen wearing it on body cam footage.

She also explained that after hitting the buggy, she was so freaked out that she first called Samantha, waited for Samantha to arrive on scene, and then had her call 911 for her.

So that explains why she is on the call and not her.

After this conversation, the officer told Sarah that they had a warrant to search the residence, so she needed to step outside.

And once officers made their way through the home, they realized that Samantha was in fact home after all.

At that time, they made her hand over her cell phone and took a sample of blood and urine from her.

Later results from the blood sample did confirm that Samantha had methamphetamine, amphetamine, and delta-9-THC in her system.

Then, after executing the search warrant on Samantha's phone, they basically hit a gold mine.

Everything they needed to know was right there on her phone.

They found several text messages between Samantha and someone named Dan and her phone dated between the morning of September 25th and 26th, 2023.

Dan texted Samantha saying, "'This little girl got killed today.

So sad.'"

In addition to those texts, they also found numerous Google searches, which included...
