So Sherry was the person who ultimately reported Crystal missing. And what I learned is that when Sherry was on her way to the police department to report Crystal missing, she actually passed Brooks. And so she met up with him at a gas station on her way there. And, you know, all he said to her was that it was a good idea to report her missing, that he thought that she should.

And she said what stuck out to her about that interaction with Brooks was that Crystal and Brooks' son was in the backseat of his truck. And she said knowing her daughter, that baby was always with her. So it really stuck out to her that something was wrong because she didn't have her son.

They got together back in 2012. Brooks Houck owned a construction company and a rental house company. And Crystal eventually went to work for him and helped manage some of those rental properties. So not only were they romantically involved, but they also became, you know, intertwined with their working relationship. Brooks was the father of Crystal's youngest child.
