00:07I do not care what you say. Mark Troyer stole her from me.
00:11You only took her home from one singing.
00:13What does that matter?
00:17Sorry to interrupt. You boys need anything else?
00:20No, ma'am. No, ma'am.
00:26I suppose you're entitled to your own opinion.
00:28But you are wrong.
00:51Oh, my gosh. Blood.
00:54Blood.
00:55Ah!
01:02What seemed like just another ordinary day in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, turned out to be anything but.
01:11When Karen Huang woke up to the news that her boyfriend of six months had suddenly gone missing.
01:26Good morning, Naomi.
01:28Good morning, Cheryl.
01:30Esther.
01:31Elizabeth, what brings you in today?
01:32Oh, it's awful.
01:35The Ashes boy, Jonas, has been diagnosed with diabetes.
01:40Elizabeth and I are planning a fundraiser for them.
01:43Don't they have insurance?
01:44Amish do not need insurance.
01:47We take care of each other.
01:49But how? Medical costs can be expensive.
01:52Well, there is a fund for unexpected medical needs, and we will collect donations at the fundraiser.
01:58What if that's not enough?
02:00We will have faith.
02:02Mm-hmm.
02:02Well, let me know what I can do to help.
02:04Thank you, Cheryl.
02:05I'm sure there's something.
02:06Right, ma'am?
02:07We will see.
02:08Lydia!
02:09Hey, girl!
02:11Cheryl?
02:11This is Lydia Troyer, my very best friend.
02:14Hello, Miss Cooper.
02:15I appreciate you giving me this opportunity.
02:17Oh, it's just Cheryl.
02:18And you're welcome.
02:19Hi, Mrs. Miller.
02:21Elizabeth?
02:22Hello, Lydia.
02:25Well, Elizabeth and I must go.
02:28Goodbye now.
02:29Bye.
02:30See you later.
02:31Esther, could you keep working on the inventory?
02:33Mm-hmm.
02:34Okay, Lydia.
02:36Let's start your training.
02:38All right, so you put in the amount, print.
02:45Give it a try.
02:53Nice!
02:59While you're on Rumspringa, the rules don't apply.
03:01You can basically do whatever you want.
03:03Well, if Esther's on Rumspringa, why can't she have a phone?
03:06That's a whole other story.
03:08But don't worry, I'll turn mine off.
03:09I'm working.
03:10I appreciate that.
03:14What?
03:16That's weird.
03:17What is it?
03:18My cousin has been missing for three years.
03:21Is that from him?
03:22I don't know who it's from, but someone knows what happened to Mark.
03:26Maybe the police can trace the number.
03:28I don't think that's a good idea.
03:31One more time.
03:45Hey, Cheryl.
03:46Hi.
03:46What can I get you?
03:47A chicken salad, please.
03:49You got it.
03:50Kathy?
03:51Mm-hmm.
03:52You know pretty much everybody in Sugar Creek, right?
03:54Most everyone.
03:56Lydia Troyer just started working for me.
03:58What about her cousin, Mark?
04:00Did you know him?
04:02Mark Troyer.
04:07He was the most popular guy in town.
04:10All the girls were crazy about him.
04:13It didn't matter if they were Amish or English.
04:16He stopped wearing Amish clothes, and he drove a little sports car.
04:20Didn't try to hide it from anyone.
04:23So, what happened to him?
04:25No one knows.
04:27But the night Mark disappeared, I found his shirt in the dumpster, covered in blood.
04:33Blood?
04:35You think he was murdered?
04:37I don't know.
04:39The police found his car at the bus station.
04:41Now, the official statement says that he ran away like a lot of the Amish kids do.
04:46But what about the bloody shirt?
04:48I gave it to the police and heard nothing else about it.
04:52Interesting.
04:54I'll get those started for you.
04:55Thanks.
05:03Hey, Renee.
05:04Can I please speak to Chief Churchill?
05:06Hi, Cheryl.
05:07I think he's busy right now.
05:10Ortega.
05:10Can you put a pot of coffee on?
05:12Hi.
05:15Oh.
05:16Hi, Cheryl.
05:18Chief, can we talk?
05:21Follow me.
05:26Lydia Troyer got a text from an unknown number saying they know where her cousin Mark is.
05:31I know you're new here, but we already know what happened to him.
05:34He ran off like Amish kids do on Ron Springer.
05:37What about the bloody shirt?
05:39I don't know why I'm telling you this, but there's a lot more evidence to suggest that the Troyer kid
05:43left town than any sort of foul play.
05:45So you tested the blood on Mark's shirt?
05:48Look, he was 18.
05:50Legally, he can leave town.
05:52He doesn't have to tell anyone, not even his family.
05:54Wait, you're not even going to trace the number?
05:57No need to.
05:58That was done three years ago.
06:00Oh.
06:01You have been just as helpful as always.
06:05Excuse me.
06:07Someone make coffee?
06:10I'll see.
06:16Hey, Renee.
06:18Can you give me the file on Mark Troyer?
06:21Sure.
06:24Let's keep this between us, okay?
06:27Okay.
06:28I'll get right on that.
06:29Cool.
06:30Thanks.
06:42Thanks for coming to meet Mark's parents.
06:44Thanks for coming to meet Mark's parents.
06:53Lydia, what a surprise.
06:55Hi, Aunt Joanna.
06:56This is my friend Cheryl.
06:57Hello.
06:58Hello.
06:59She wants to ask you some questions about Mark.
07:04Come in.
07:05Thanks.
07:11Naomi speaks so highly of you.
07:13She says, Scott has given you a gift.
07:16The way you helped find the Schwartz's baby who solved those robberies.
07:20Well, that was very kind of her.
07:23Mrs. Troyer, Lydia told me about Mark.
07:26I'd like to try to help you find your son.
07:29This is my daughter, Matilda.
07:32Hi, Matilda.
07:33Dad does not like us to talk about Mark.
07:35Matilda, I got a text.
07:36Someone knows where Mark is.
07:38Isn't that good news?
07:39Who?
07:39I don't know.
07:40I thought we were trying to find out.
07:41Do you have any idea who might know Mark's whereabouts now?
07:44Friends?
07:45Enemies?
07:46No.
07:51I do not want his name spoken in my house.
07:53Mr. Troyer, hi.
07:55I'm Cheryl Cooper.
07:56I run the Swiss Miss.
07:57Uncle Saul, Cheryl is here to help.
07:59We do not need her help.
08:00But we have some information about Mark.
08:02Lydia, please.
08:02He knows where we are.
08:04But Saul.
08:05I have nothing more to say about this.
08:07Oh, okay.
08:10Well, thank you for the tea.
08:14That was strange.
08:16Did I mention they're Schwartz and Troubert Amish?
08:19No.
08:20They're the most conservative of the Amish community.
08:22Do you think that's why Mark left?
08:25Maybe.
08:25He wanted to be an artist, and that is discouraged in the Amish community.
08:30Kathy said that he might have had a girlfriend.
08:32Yes.
08:33Mark broke a lot of hearts.
08:34Anyone special?
08:35There's a long list, but at the top I would say Sarah Yatzee, Hannah Hilty, and Henry Detweiler.
08:43Henry?
08:44Mark flirted with Sarah Yatzee.
08:46Who was sort of dating Henry Detweiler.
08:48So when she broke it off with Henry, he thought it was Mark's fault.
08:51Oh.
08:52And what about Hannah Hilty?
08:54He was Hannah's first boyfriend, and I don't think she ever got over him.
08:58Oh.
08:59Hold on.
09:06Meet me at the Guggersburg Inn parking lot at 8 p.m.
09:09We need to talk.
09:11What?
09:12Who is this?
09:26Officer Ortega?
09:34Do you want me to talk to you?
09:35Do you want me to talk to you?
09:37Twitch will put you up to this?
09:38No.
09:40He doesn't know I'm here.
09:42So why are you?
09:45I agree with you
09:46The Troyer case could use another look
09:48But we have to find new evidence
09:50To justify reopening the case
09:52We?
09:53The Amish aren't fond
09:55Of talking to the police
09:57But it sounds like they will talk to you
09:59So you need my help
10:00Let's just say we may be able to help each other
10:04Okay
10:06Okay
10:07Send me the number
10:08I'll try and trace it
10:11You can't tell anyone
10:12About this
10:13Okay?
10:14Got it
10:15Thanks
10:28Thanks
10:29Hello
10:30Hi
10:31Ooh, you're making pies?
10:34Jess Crust today
10:35Is this for the fundraiser?
10:37Yes
10:37We will decorate the barn
10:40And everyone who attends will bring a dish
10:43And a bit of money to contribute
10:45Yeah
10:45You're having it in the barn?
10:47Our house just isn't big enough for that many people
10:49Well, you could rent a space and have dinner catered
10:53Oh, that is not what we do
10:55You could raise so much more money if you make it a special event
10:58I could talk to Kathy about catering
11:00Oh, and I could design some posters that we could hang around town
11:03Uh, I will talk to the Eshes about that
11:07Would you like me to come with you?
11:09No
11:10Uh, that will not be necessary
11:15Cheryl, did you tell them what happened?
11:16What happened?
11:18I'm sure you know about Mark Troyer
11:20Oh, very sad story
11:22I can only imagine what Joanna has been through
11:26Lydia got a text that they knew where Mark was
11:28But she does not know who sent it
11:30She asked me to help her find out where it came from
11:32Oh, that would be such a gift to Joanna
11:35To finally have some answers
11:37Even if it is bad news
11:40She'll still know
11:43Do you want to help me?
11:45Yeah
11:57Cheryl, are you leaving already?
12:00Yes
12:00I just stopped by to ask your mom about Mark Troyer
12:03Did you know him?
12:05Not well
12:05He's a few years younger than me
12:07Though I do remember Elizabeth and Esther being quite fond of him
12:10Yeah, it sounds like he was quite popular
12:12Lydia gave me a few names to look into
12:14If you need a hand
12:15Let me know
12:16Thought you weren't into mysteries
12:18I was just trying to be helpful, but
12:20You don't need any
12:21That's not what I meant
12:25Get the door for you
12:26Thank you
12:33All right
12:35Bye, Levi
12:36Bye
12:41Troyer's car was found abandoned at the Canton bus station
12:44The search did not reveal signs of foul play
12:46However, Sugar Creek police have taken possession of several items inside the car as evidence
12:52A book of sculptures by the artist Martin Puryear
12:56Canton Raceway betting slip with the number 87 written on the back
13:01Troyer has not been seen since the night of September 24th
13:07Bo, wouldn't Mark take his car if he was running away?
13:13I think it's suspicious too
13:25Hey, Cheryl
13:26Hey, can I ask you a couple more questions about Mark Troyer?
13:30Yeah, sure, go ahead
13:31The night that you found his shirt
13:34Can you remember who else was there?
13:36Oh, that kind of thing sticks with you
13:39There was Ben Vogel, your aunt Mitzi, and two Amish boys
13:44Henry Detweiler and Moses Schrock
13:46Do you think Henry or Moses would talk to me?
13:50Like a lot of the Amish, especially the boys
13:53No
13:55Because we're women?
13:57Yes, and not Amish
13:59But they talk to Levi
14:00Noted
14:01Thanks for your help
14:04You want to stay and do the dishes?
14:06Next time
14:16Kathy said the Amish boys might talk to me if you were with me
14:19So, thank you
14:29Hi there, how can I help you folks?
14:30I'm looking for Henry Detweiler
14:32Is he working today?
14:32Yes, he's that young man right over there
14:36Henry?
14:38Hello Levi
14:39It's good to see you, Henry
14:42This is my friend, Cheryl Cooper
14:43Hi
14:45We'd like to talk to you about Mark Troyer
14:48We heard there was some tension between the two of you
14:50Could you tell me about that?
14:53It's okay, you can trust her
14:56It is true
14:58There was tension between us
15:01We'd not been seeing each other long, but
15:04Mark stole Sarah from me
15:05So it was about a girl
15:07Yeah
15:08Sarah Yotsi
15:10A few weeks before he disappeared
15:12Mark flirted with her at a singing
15:14Mark could have had any girl he wanted
15:16But he picked her
15:18She went with him
15:19And he moved on to a new girl
15:21That's what he did
15:24After that
15:26She stopped wanting to see me
15:29I know it's hard
15:31But you will find someone, Henry
15:33I'm sure
15:37I just have one last question
15:38Do you happen to have a cell phone?
15:41Phone?
15:41No
15:42It is forbidden
15:43Except during Rumspringle
15:45Thank you for your time, Henry
15:53Well
15:53He is either upset
15:55Or guilty
16:09I thought we were keeping this investigation between us
16:11You can trust him
16:13Levi Miller
16:14Your secret is safe with me
16:15I'm so we're taken
16:17So what did you find out?
16:20I ran a check on Mark and our system
16:22No matching police records from the last three years
16:26I also tried the community college where he was taking art classes
16:29I got a disconnected phone number and an invalid email address
16:33Anything on the number I sent you?
16:36Not yet, but I do have some news that might help
16:40I spoke with Jessica Stockton
16:41She was the last person to see Mark Troyer in Sugar Creek
16:44What did she say?
16:46She was driving home from Dover when she saw a car pulled over on the side of the road
16:50Mark was having engine trouble, but waved Jessica on
16:54So she didn't speak to him
16:56No, but what wasn't in the police report was that there was a girl in the car with him
17:01A girl? Did she know who it was?
17:04Just that she wasn't Amish and she wore glasses
17:07So maybe Mark had an English girlfriend?
17:10It's unlikely in our church
17:11But not impossible
17:12I mean, especially during Rumspringer, right?
17:14Right
17:17Copy that
17:18I gotta go
17:19Thank you, officer
17:20Bye
17:26Lydia, can you come in here?
17:30What do you think?
17:33It's not very Amish
17:34Well, we want to get the whole town involved, not just the Amish
17:44But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him
17:49He ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him
17:52Do you think Saul would let Mark come home if he wanted to?
17:58Uncle Saul is strict
17:59But he is a good father
18:01My ma'am says he is heartbroken, but he tries to hide it
18:05There's nothing he would want more than to hear from Mark
18:07I'm sure that's true of the whole family
18:10He may be a prodigal, but they'd welcome him home with open arms
18:14Do you know if he had an English girlfriend?
18:16No
18:17Never mention it if he did
18:19But you should ask my brother, Elam
18:20They were close
18:22Lydia, if the police couldn't figure out what happened to Mark
18:25What makes you think I can?
18:27Because you care
18:28The police didn't
18:42This is my house
18:54Hold the bag wide
18:57Cheryl, these are my older brothers, Elam and Thomas
19:00Hey
19:01Hello
19:02Hi
19:02Cheryl wants to ask you about Mark
19:04Do you know if he had an English girlfriend around the time he disappeared?
19:09Mark liked Amish and English girls
19:11It would be hard to keep track of all the girls
19:13So there was no one special?
19:15Someone he might have taken with him when he disappeared?
19:18Not that we know of
19:20I read that they found a betting slip in his car
19:23Huh
19:26During Rumspringa, we went to the horse races
19:30There was even talk Mark got mixed up with gangsters
19:33But the only thing we lost was our hard-earned money
19:37Sorry to hear that
19:38Just one more question
19:40Do either of you have a cell phone?
19:43No, no ma'am
19:44We gave them up after Rumspringa
19:46Gave mine to Thomas
19:47Yeah, thanks for that
19:48Took about a week before it broke
19:53It's him again
19:56Open the box
20:03A puzzle box?
20:05Mark loved making them
20:06It's beautiful
20:07He gave it to me for my 13th birthday
20:09Just a couple of weeks before he disappeared
20:12Well, the tech said to open it
20:13We haven't been able to figure it out
20:17You can try
20:37Why don't we just bust it open?
20:39We can't
20:39It's the last thing Lydia has from her cousin
20:42Fine
20:47This is Officer Ortega
20:51Okay
20:53Thanks
20:55That was a phone company
20:57The number is registered to Elam Troyer
20:59That's not possible
21:01I was with him when Lydia got that last text
21:03He must be hiding something
21:05Why don't you talk to him and find out what it is
21:08I'm on it
21:33Hi again
21:36What can we do for you Cheryl?
21:38Elam, I thought you said you didn't have a phone
21:40I gave my phone to Thomas
21:41Well, where is it now?
21:43In my room
21:44But it's broken
21:45Could you show it to me?
21:48I'll be right there
22:02Here it is
22:03Thank you
22:07It doesn't even power on
22:09Wait
22:09Is the SIM card still in here?
22:11I don't know what that is
22:13Elam, are you still paying the phone bill?
22:15The charges were deducted from my bank account
22:16But when I gave it to Thomas
22:18I told him to change it to his
22:19It broke before I even got around to it
22:21Well, if you're still paying for it
22:22That means the SIM card's still active
22:24Someone could be using it in another phone
22:28What's that mean?
22:31There's no SIM card
22:34Thomas?
22:35Could someone have taken it?
22:37I don't know
22:51Nice try, Bo
23:05Got that part
23:14What are you hiding in there, Mark?
23:26Thanks for coming with me to see Moses, Levi
23:33What was this?
23:35Levi
23:37How are you doing?
23:38Good to see you
23:39This is Cheryl
23:40Hi
23:41Hi there
23:42Cheryl has a few questions for you about Mark Troyer
23:45He was nice enough to show me the ropes
23:47I started working here at the buggy shop
23:49About a month before his disappearance
23:50So you didn't notice any strange behavior?
23:54No
23:54He was on Rumspringer at the time
23:57Everyone liked Mark
23:58Especially the girls
24:00Except for Henry Detweiler
24:02He was sure Mark had ruined his chances with Sarah Yutzi
24:05He was angry about it
24:07But Sarah was never serious about Henry
24:09How do you know that?
24:10I'm married to Sarah's sister
24:11And they talk
24:14So you were at the honeybee the night they found Mark's bloody shirt, right?
24:17That wasn't Mark's shirt
24:18That was my shirt
24:19The bloody shirt was yours?
24:21I cut my hand on a buzzsaw the last day Mark and I had worked together
24:25I had blood all over and he got me an extra shirt out of his car
24:29And then I bled all over that one too
24:32Must have been a deep cut
24:33I have not made that mistake again
24:35Anyway, I called Henry
24:37We had phones at the time
24:38I called him to meet me at the honeybee with a fresh shirt
24:42I threw Mark's in the dumpster before we met
24:44Figured he would not want that back
24:46Why didn't you tell the police?
24:48No one asked
24:50My mom passed away at the time
24:52I wasn't working
24:53I didn't even hear about Mark's disappearance until weeks later
24:59Was there anything else?
25:01No, you've been very helpful
25:04Thank you, Elizabeth
25:04Good scene
25:05You too
25:08You should probably talk to Officer Ortega
25:09Yeah
25:14And so, I think, given the fact that Jessica Stockton's account was not fully recorded
25:20It may be reason enough to take another look at the case
25:24If we request access to see where the phone is located
25:28It might just give us the answers we need to finally put this case to bed
25:33That's been in bed and sleeping soundly for three years
25:35Troy is a runaway
25:38That's the end of that
25:38Chief, his family deserves closure
25:41We have actual crimes to solve
25:44Do you understand, officer?
25:49Yes, sir
25:51That's all
26:30I can't believe Ortega didn't answer
26:37I can't believe Ortega didn't answer
26:52Thanks again
26:52You were a huge help today
26:54I don't think they would have talked to me without you
26:56Not all Amish men find it easy to talk to English women
27:00At least, not as easy as I do
27:03With you
27:06I like talking to you too
27:09I should have
27:10Yeah
27:23Hi
27:24Hey
27:25How's it going with Moses Schrock?
27:27Well, it was his blood on the shirt
27:30Not Mark Troyer's
27:33Moses Schrock's?
27:34Mm-hmm
27:34He cut his hand on a saw at work
27:37Mark gave him his shirt
27:38But he bled right through it and threw it in the dumpster
27:40Oh my goodness
27:42Yeah
27:43Anyways, while I was here I thought I'd check on the fundraiser
27:46Do you think we should get some speakers for the dance floor?
27:49Amish do not dance, Cheryl
27:52Well, yeah, but for the other guests
27:57I know your heart is in the right place
28:01But this is an Amish fundraiser, not English
28:04I was just trying to help
28:06It is not necessary
28:16You're never going to believe this
28:17It turns out the blood on the shirt wasn't Mark Troyer's
28:20It was Moses Schrock's
28:21So at least now we can focus on finding Mark and not some killer
28:26He said I can't pursue the case anymore
28:28Are you serious?
28:30You're just going to give up?
28:31I can't lose my job over one case
28:34And
28:35Sounds like from what you found out from Moses that
28:38Twitchell is right
28:39Mark is probably a runaway
28:41You just said it
28:42Probably
28:43Cheryl
28:44Please
28:45Just leave this alone
28:46Wow
28:48You sound just like Twitchell
28:50Maybe you two deserve each other
28:59You don't have to do that
29:01I don't mind
29:04Anyway, I'm not here on my own accord
29:07You're not?
29:09Ma'am is afraid that she hurt your feelings
29:11She asked me to come and check with you
29:13I'm fine
29:14I wasn't listening to her or Elizabeth
29:16I just wanted to do everything my own way
29:20You know, I haven't had a yard before
29:22Can I try?
29:23Sure
29:25Link
29:27You'll find it easier if you rake with the breeze
29:30That way the leaves blow towards you
29:33See?
29:36Ow
29:39It's not always a bad thing to be headstrong
29:41It means you know what you want
29:44It also means you don't know when to let go
29:45Just like in grade school when they took the strawberry milk off the menu
29:48I tried to get everyone to protest with me
29:51And then I found out I was the only one who liked it
29:53Still protested anyway
29:55Just me and my sign
29:58Strawberry milk?
30:00I guess it's an acquired taste
30:05How'd everything go with Officer Ortega?
30:07She's done helping me
30:08Twitch will put an end to that
30:10Well, I guess that just means you'll have to find Mark on your own
30:12How?
30:13The only clue I have left is that puzzle box that Mark left for Lydia
30:17You never mentioned a puzzle box
30:19I didn't?
30:22Come on
30:24Let's see
30:38It's there
30:45Got it
30:48Oh my gosh
30:50Nina, you're amazing
30:52Bye
30:54I do like puzzles
30:55Oh, well
30:57You know
30:59Mysteries are just big puzzles waiting to be solved
31:11What is it?
31:13The title to Mark's car
31:15He signed it over to you, Lydia
31:19That's not Mark's name
31:20It says Mark Per here
31:21I guess he changed his last name
31:24To his favorite artists
31:26Which explains why we couldn't find him in any of our searches
31:29So if Mark left me his card
31:31That means he planned to leave all alone
31:34But I don't understand
31:36Why would he just vanish without telling anyone?
31:39I think someone did know
31:46Oh, Chief Switcher wants to see you
31:48He probably wants me to make coffee
31:51Yeah
32:04Wanted to see me?
32:06Take a seat
32:13I went over your notes on the Troyer file
32:15It's not bad work
32:18I may have missed a few things after all
32:22I decided to reopen the case
32:24I'm writing a formal request to the courthouse right now
32:27Asking them to track that SIM card signal to find out who's been texting Lydia Troyer
32:32Thank you, Chief
32:34There's just one condition
32:37I don't want to hear anything about Cheryl Cooper being involved in this
32:41Is that clear?
32:44Yes, sir
33:11There you are
33:13I'm so glad you came
33:15Well, of course I came
33:17Naomi, this is lovely
33:18It would have been lovelier if we had brought someone in to decorate
33:21It could not have turned out better
33:25I'm sorry I tried to take over
33:27I just wanted the night to be successful for your friend
33:30I know
33:31And it is
33:32Look around
33:34See all these people who came out to show my cousin and her family that they care
33:39What about their medical expenses?
33:42Well, we will be able to cover some of it
33:45But the most important thing is that they know that we are there for them
33:48And we know what they need
33:50And whatever we can't provide
33:53We will trust that God will
33:55You're right
33:57Our table is right over there
33:59I'm going to get some food
34:04Cheryl
34:04You made it
34:05Elizabeth, hi
34:07You did a beautiful job in here
34:09You're too kind
34:10No, it's perfect
34:12It truly is
34:14Levi says there's some big developments in Mark's case
34:17I think we're getting closer
34:19I'm sure you'll figure it out
34:21Dett and Levi are waiting for you over there
34:23Oh, okay
34:30Cheryl
34:32Cheryl
34:32Cheryl
34:32Hey
34:34What are you doing at an Amish fundraiser?
34:36I thought you'd be here
34:37And I wanted to tell you
34:39Twitchell's working on the court order to track the cell phone
34:41I think you might be too late
34:42They just sent me this text
34:45I think someone overheard me talking about the case
34:48They're here?
34:51Call the number
34:52Good idea
34:56Where is that?
34:58Over there!
35:01Lydia, come on
35:03Police!
35:05Stop!
35:08Turn around!
35:09Slowly!
35:16Elizabeth!
35:17What's happening?
35:19I think we found our mystery texter
35:21But she doesn't even own
35:25A phone
35:29I bought it during my room spring up
35:32Go on
35:34I took the SIM card from Thomas' phone when I was helping his mom with the baby
35:37Why would you do that?
35:42Because I know what happened to Mark and I wanted you to know
35:45What happened to him?
35:47He left to study art in New York
35:50But why would he leave without telling anyone?
35:53He didn't
35:54He left a note for his whole family
35:56He's even written his parents and they've never responded
35:59How do you know?
36:04Mark and I used to see each other
36:07Romantically
36:09Mark Troyer?
36:10I'm sorry
36:11It was a secret
36:14I knew what people would think
36:15I was too young
36:18But we told each other everything
36:21He told me things that he did not dare tell his family or anyone
36:26We ended things
36:27Before he left
36:28But
36:30We feared mean to friends
36:32Even though he's married
36:35Mark is married?
36:37So what did you mean by your text?
36:39You're getting closer
36:40There's not much time
36:42Mark's wife's pregnant
36:43And in the new year
36:44They're moving to Rome
36:46I just wanted him and his family to make peace
36:49Before they left the country
36:50And it's too late
36:52So it was you in the car with Mark the night he left?
36:55No
36:56That was not me
36:57Then who was it?
37:05Matilda
37:07Matilda?
37:09I found Mark's note that night
37:11I did not want him to leave
37:13So I found him and I tried to convince him to stay
37:15But his mind was already made up
37:18Why not tell us?
37:19I knew it would upset you and that
37:21To know that Mark had abandoned us
37:22Our family
37:23Our faith
37:25You thought it would be better for us to think that our son left without saying goodbye?
37:29Or even worse
37:31To think he might be dead?
37:32The rules of our district are very clear
37:34We do not condone sin among our members
37:37Did you not think that we would forgive him?
37:39He's more important than any of the rules
37:41Mark was not a member
37:43He had not been baptized yet
37:44Where are the letters he sent?
37:45I want to see them
37:48I did not want him to influence the younger children
37:51So I
37:52I burned them
37:53I was only trying to keep our family together
37:55Matilda
37:56Everyone can make their own decisions about joining the church
38:00Even your brothers and sisters
38:10Come inside
38:11Can I have everyone's attention please?
38:15I wanted to thank everyone for coming out in support of the Eshes
38:20Not only have you given of your talents with all of this delicious food
38:26But you have opened up your hearts
38:29And given generously
38:32God is good
38:44This is really good
38:46Yeah
38:51Poor Elizabeth
38:52Having to keep that all in
38:54We can never trust the quiet ones
38:57Do you think she still has feelings for Mark?
39:00Just friendship
39:03Sometimes that's enough
39:07Cheryl
39:07Did you see all of the pies that they have up there?
39:11No
39:12Did I interrupt something?
39:15Uh
