Suspicious Disappearances

The case begins with the disappearance of Roger 'Fred' Farmer, who was reported missing in late December 2019. His daughter, Christina, noted that the texts she and her sister received from Fred were out of character, indicating they were likely not sent by him, as he typically used a simple talk-to-text style. Concerned, Christina checked Fred's home and found that his bank account was in the negative, which was unusual for him, further fueling worries for his well-being. As the investigation unfolds, it is revealed that Fred had been missing since early November, leading detectives to suspect foul play rather than a simple disappearance.
