Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is Debra Roberts. I'm here with another weekly episode of our latest series from 2020 and ABC Audio, The Hand in the Window. Remember, you can get new episodes early if you follow The Hand in the Window for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or your favorite podcast app. Now, here's the episode.
At 43, Stacey Stanley was a grandma with a punk rock look. She wore her hair short and spiky, and she often donned a studded leather choker necklace or a black and white bandana. Stacey had the music taste to match her look. Classic rock was her favorite, and she was not shy about performing it at karaoke.
Her sister Gina Stanley says her go-to songs were Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird and Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses.
Sweet Child of Mine, I actually had a video of her singing it. When we were kids, I was videotaping her singing that.
Gina shared the video with ABC News. In this home video, a teenage Stacey with dark, very high volume hair holds a microphone and belts with confidence in her living room.
It reminds me of childhood memories where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky.
Stacy and her sister Gina were just 11 months apart in age. We grew up to be very close. What was Stacy like?
She was one of the most kindest people you would ever meet, do anything for anybody. Was like the major part of our family that brought everybody together, had made big dinners and stuff for holidays and stuff like that.
Gina told me Stacey was the glue that held the family together. She was very close with her two sons, Corey and Curtis.

Chapter 2: Who is Stacey Stanley and what makes her story compelling?
Very good mother. Couldn't ask for a better one. Curtis?
Always there for her kids, calling her consistently. You know, if she didn't pick up, she'd call you like a thousand times. Like, you'd put it on mute. And then your wife would get the calls. Like, your mom's calling. For what? To talk to you.
Stacy lived in Greenwich, Ohio, about 20 minutes from Ashland. She didn't seem to have anything in common with Jane Doe, who was kidnapped in the town, or with Elizabeth Griffith, who had recently gone missing from Ashland. But on September 8th, 2016, Stacy Stanley drove into Ashland to run some errands, and she never returned home.
From ABC Audio in 2020, I'm John Quinones, and this is The Hand in the Window. Episode 3, Be on the Lookout. Stacey Stanley headed to the Walmart in Ashland for topsoil and gardening supplies. While she was in town, she also got her nails done. When she stopped for gas on the way home, she realized she'd been driving on a flat tire. She called her sons for help.
Curtis says she was frantic and annoyed. After all, she had just gotten a new tire.
She called us a thousand times. So I picked up and I'm like, what's up, mom? She said, oh, I got a flat tire. I said, okay, well, let me call you back and me and Corey will figure something out.
Curtis and Corey got in touch with a family friend who was in Ashland that evening, and they arranged for him to swing by the gas station to help with Stacy's tire.
And I called her back. I said, hey, we got somebody who's going to come down, help you change a tire. He'll be there shortly. And her whole demeanor changed. She was all happy, giggly, like her normal self. She was laughing on the phone. And I said, well, she's like, some nice guy stopped to help, but he don't have no tools. And then I told her to tell him to kick rocks.
We got somebody to come and help you.

Chapter 4: How did Stacey's family respond to her sudden disappearance?
She kept asking Sean Gray to tell her where Elizabeth could be.
Can you take me to her?
Detective Major kept assuring Gray that they really had not found Elizabeth Griffith, that they needed his help.
I'm looking for Elizabeth's body. Can you take me to it?
She's dead?
I believe she is. Hey, listen to me. This is your moment.
Is it my moment?
I believe it is. My moment is when I die. Once I'm put in a cell, Keylock is my moment.
Detective Major had spent an hour with Sean Great, and he kept dangling information in front of her, as if they were playing a game of cat and mouse.
