Susan's mother, Linda, lived in Texas. The last time she saw her daughter was when Linda visited Susan in Alabama for mother's day. Linda and Susan went out for manicures and pedicures before having lunch. Linda left after May 29th, memorial day weekend and traveled to Michigan for her granddaughter's graduation. While in Michigan, Linda was sending Susan texts and pictures, but getting no response back. Susan never had gone more than a day or two without returning her mother's texts or phone calls. This worried Linda and she sent Susan a letter which was returned unopened and marked not deliverable.
Susan wasn't answering texts or phone calls from her friend Holly either. Holly had moved from Alabama to Florida just before memorial day. She tried to contact Evan as well, but he didn't respond either. Then both Susan and Evans phones were disconnected.
A month after Linda last heard from Susan, she contacted police to go do a welfare check on her daughter and grandson. When an officer arrived at Susan's house, her car is in the driveway. The officer than talks to Jerry, who is in the midst of thoroughly cleaning the house. He claims that Susan left him on Memorial day and took Evan with her. He said that they were picked up by some man. Jerry said that she returned the next day to grab furniture and other belongings. Susan's two beloved dogs were also missing, they were later found at the animal shelter. Both Susan and Evan's belongings were missing from the home, but Susan left her 10-year-old daughter Hannah behind, and her family doesn't believe she would have voluntarily abandon her daughter.
The next day, the police returned with a search warrant to find Jerry cleaning his home yet again. The inside of the house had recently and needlessly been completely remodeled. The hardwood floors were replaced with carpet, it was freshly painted and there was all new furniture. Jerry told detectives that he had to paint the walls because Susan spray painted obscenities before she left. He also said that he burned the old furniture that Susan didn't take. Neighbors claimed that all through the summer, Jerry had been burning things in his yard, pretty much non stop and that the smoke was thick and the smell was terrible. Cadaver dogs alerted to possibly human remains at or near Jerry's burn barrel.
When detectives used luminol in Jerry's house, there were traces of blood all over in the laundry room, guest bathroom and kitchen. The house was equipped with an elaborate security system with cameras at every door, but by the time the police began investigating, all the footage from the time of Susan and Evan's disappearance was gone because Jerry had bought a replacement system on June 1st.
Holly contacted police and told them she saved emails that Susan had sent her. Jerry had become very possessive of Susan and would listen into her calls and texts, so Susan sent those secret emails to Holly. From the emails the police learned that Susan discovered Jerry had previously worked as a gay escort before their marriage, advertising his services online. She recognized him in the ad photos by the tattoos. She said she thought Jerry was still escorting and spoke about leaving him, but later said she and Jerry had worked things out and she still loved him. Susan had also told her mom about this as well.
Jerry is considered a person of interest in his wife and stepson's disappearances, but he maintains his innocence. The two cases remain unsolved and foul play is suspected. Evan takes medicine that is crucial too his heath that was never picked up from the pharmacy.
