It was off.

His phone was off.

Hmm.

He was nowhere to be found to help with the move that they're in the middle of.

And she said that it was really unusual for his cell phone to be off.

Remember, he's a police officer.

So first responders typically have to have their phones on and respond when they get a call.

And he just kind of went dark.

And then she also said he didn't come home that night.

It is a great question.

I think a lot of the Houck properties were searched.

A lot of, you know, over the years, many different places were searched by many different versions of law enforcement, many layers of law enforcement.

I know that recently, in the last five years or so, when the FBI had taken over and started doing a lot of searches in Bardstown, they did search at least one property that Brooks Houck was in charge of developing.

They dug up a driveway.

But still, there was no evidence or remains found of Crystal.

Absolutely.

I think that's one of the hardest things right now for Sherry and for Crystal's kids and for Crystal's siblings and her family in general is just that question of where is she and can we give her the proper burial that would mean so much to us and have, you know, a grave to go and visit and somewhere to just be with her.

So that has been a question that has kind of haunted Sherry, the family, everyone.

I think, you know, you could kind of logically see it as it was hunting season.

It's Kentucky.
