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.
01:02What seemed like just another ordinary day in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, turned out to be anything but.
01:10When Karen Huang woke up to the news that her boyfriend of six months had suddenly gone missing.
01:27Good morning, Naomi.
01:28Good morning, Cheryl.
01:30Esther.
01:31Elizabeth, what brings you in today?
01:33Oh, 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?
01:45Amish do not need insurance. We 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.
02:02Well, 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 while I'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?
03:51You 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.
04:10It 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.
05:54You'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.
06:07Does someone 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?
06:26Okay.
06:28I'll get right on.
06:29Cool.
06:30Thanks.
06:42Thanks for coming to meet Mark's parents.
06:53Lydia, what a surprise.
06:55Hi, Aunt Joanna.
06:56This is my friend Cheryl.
06:57Hello.
06:58She wants to ask you some questions.
07:00About 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 Schubert Amish?
08:19No.
08:20They're the most conservative of the Amish community.
08:22Do you think that's why Mark left?
08:25Maybe.
08:26He 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, who 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, hold on.
09:05Meet me at the Guggersburg Inn parking lot at 8 p.m.
09:09We need to talk.
09:11What?
09:14Who is this?
09:26Officer Ortega?
09:36Twitch, 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 to justify reopening the case.
09:52We?
09:53The Amish aren't fond of talking to the police.
09:57But it sounds like they will talk to you.
09:59So you need my help.
10:01Let'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.
10:11And you can't tell anyone about this.
10:14Okay?
10:15Got it.
10:16Thanks.
10:28Thanks.
10:30Hello?
10:31Hi.
10:32Ooh, you're making pies?
10:34Jess Crust today.
10:36Is this for the fundraiser?
10:37Yes.
10:38We will decorate the barn and everyone who attends will bring a dish.
10:43And a bit of money to contribute.
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.
11:20Very sad story.
11:22I can only imagine what Joanna has been through.
11:26Lydia got a text that they knew where Mark was, but 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 to finally have some answers.
11:37Even if it is bad news, she'll still know.
11:43Do you want to help me?
11:45Yeah.
11:46Yeah.
11:57Cheryl, are you leaving already?
12:00Yes.
12:01I just stopped by to ask your mom about Mark Troyer.
12:04Did 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, let me know.
12:16I thought you weren't into mysteries.
12:18I was just trying to be helpful, but you don't need any.
12:21That's not what I meant.
12:25Get the door for 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.
12:47However, Sugar Creek police have taken possession of several items inside the car as evidence.
12:53A 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.
13:26Hey, Cheryl.
13:27Hey.
13:28Can I ask you a couple more questions about Mark Troyer?
13:30Yeah, sure.
13:31Go ahead.
13:31The night that you found his shirt, can 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, Henry Detweiler and Moses Schrock.
13:47Do you think Henry or Moses would talk to me?
13:50Like a lot of the Amish, especially the boys, no.
13:55Because we're women?
13:57Yes, and not Amish.
13:59But they talked to Levi.
14:00Noted.
14:01Thanks for your help.
14:04Don't you 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, so thank you.
14:29Hi there.
14:30How 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.
14:44Hi.
14:45We'd like to talk to you about Mark Troyer.
14:48We heard there was some tension between the two of you.
14:51Could you tell me about that?
14:53It's okay.
14:54You can trust her.
14:56It is true.
14:58There was tension between us.
15:01We'd not been seeing each other long, but Mark stole Sarah from me.
15:05So it was about a girl.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Sarah Yatzee.
15:10A few weeks before he disappeared, Mark flirted with her at a singing.
15:15Mark could have had any girl he wanted, but 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, she stopped wanting to see me.
15:29I know it's hard, but you will find someone, Henry.
15:33I'm sure.
15:36I 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 Rumspringa.
15:45Thank you for your time, Henry.
15:53Well, he is either upset or guilty.
16:09I thought we were keeping this investigation between us.
16:11You can trust him.
16:13Levi Miller, your secret is safe with me.
16:15I'm sore taken.
16:17So what did you find out?
16:20I ran a check on Mark in 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?
16:35Not yet, but I do have some news that might help.
16:40I spoke with Jessica Stockton.
16:42She was the last person to see Mark Troyer in Sugar Creek.
16:45What 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.
16:57No, but what wasn't in the police report was that there was a girl in the car with him.
17:02A girl?
17:02Did 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.
17:19I gotta go.
17:20Thank you, officer.
17:21Bye.
17:22Bye.
17:23Bye.
17:26Bye.
17:26Lydia, can you come in here?
17:30What do you think?
17:33It's not very Amish.
17:35Well, we want to get the whole town involved, not just the Amish.
17:39Hmm.
17:45But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him.
17:50He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him.
17:53Do you think Saul would let Mark come home if he wanted to?
17:58Uncle Saul is strict, but 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, Ilan.
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.
18:43This is my house.
18:54Hold the bag wide.
18:57Cheryl, these are my older brothers, Ilan and Thomas.
19:01Hey.
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.
19:12So 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.
19:24Huh.
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.
19:44No, ma'am.
19:45We give them up after Rumspringa gave mine to Thomas.
19:47Yeah, thanks for that.
19:48Took about a week before it broke.
19:52It'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, just a couple of weeks before he disappeared.
20:12Well, the tech said to open it.
20:14We 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.
21:00That'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.
21:42Where 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.
22:07It doesn't even power on.
22:09Wait.
22:10Is 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, but when I gave it to Thomas, I told him to
22:18change it to his.
22:19It broke before I even got around to it.
22:21Well, if you're still paying for it, that 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?
22:35Did someone have taken it?
22:37I don't know.
22:51Nice try, Bo.
22:54Oh.
23:06Got that part.
23:14What are you hiding in there, Mark?
23:26Thanks for coming with me to see Moses, Levi.
23:33What was this?
23:34Levi.
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 about a month before his disappearance.
23:50So you didn't notice any strange behavior?
23:54Uh, no.
23:55He was on Rumspringer at the time.
23:57Everyone liked Mark.
23:58Especially the girls.
24:00Except for Henry Detweiler.
24:02Uh, he was sure Mark had ruined his chances with Sarah Yutze.
24:05He was angry about it, but 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 Honey Bee the night they found Mark's bloody shirt, right?
24:17That wasn't Mark's shirt.
24:19That was my shirt.
24:20The 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 Honey Bee 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.
24:54I didn't even hear about Mark's disappearance until weeks later.
24:59Was there anything else?
25:01No.
25:02You've been very helpful.
25:04Thank you, Elizabeth.
25:04Good scene.
25:05Me, too.
25:08We should probably talk to Officer Ritiga.
25:10Yeah.
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.
25:32That's been in bed and sleeping soundly for three years.
25:36Troy is a runaway.
25:37That's the end of that.
25:39Chief, his family deserves closure.
25:42We have actual crimes to solve.
25:45Do you understand, officer?
25:48Yes, sir.
25:51That's home.
25:52That's home.
26:17Don't worry.
26:19Don't worry.
26:20I'm sorry.
26:22Don't worry.
26:30I can't believe Ortega didn't answer.
26:52Thanks again. You were a huge help today. I don't think they would have talked to me without you.
26:57Not all Amish men find it easy to talk to English women. At least, not as easy as I do.
27:03With you.
27:06Hey, I like talking to you too. I should have.
27:10Yeah.
27:23Hi. Hey. How's it going with Moses Schrock?
27:28Well, it was his blood on the shirt, not Mark Troyer's.
27:33Moses Schrock's?
27:34Mm-hmm. He cut his hand on a saw at work, Mark gave him his shirt, but he bled right
27:39through it and threw it in the dumpster.
27:40Oh my goodness.
27:43Yeah. Anyways, while I was here I thought I'd check on the fundraiser. Do you think we should get some
27:47speakers 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, but 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. It turns out the blood on the shirt wasn't Mark Troyer's. It was Moses
28:21Schrock'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.
28:29Are you serious? You're just going to give up?
28:31I can't lose my job over one case.
28:34And it sounds like from what you found out from Moses that Twitchell is right.
28:39Mark is probably a runaway.
28:41You just said it. Probably.
28:43Cheryl, please. Just leave this alone.
28:47Wow. You sound just like Twitchell.
28:50Maybe you two deserve each other.
29:00You don't have to do that.
29:02I 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. I 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.
29:28You'll find it easier if you rake with the breeze.
29:30That way the leaves blow towards you.
29:33See?
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.
29:46Just like in grade school when they took the strawberry milk off the menu.
29:49I tried to get everyone to protest with me and then I found out I was the only one who
29:53liked it.
29:54Still protested anyway. Just me and my sign.
29:58Strawberry milk?
30:00I guess it's an acquired taste.
30:05How'd everything go with Officer Ortega?
30:06She'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.
30:13How?
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 here.
30:46It's there?
30:47Got it.
30:49Oh my gosh, Nina, I've been amazing!
30:53I do like puzzles.
30:55Ah, well, you know, mysteries 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. It says Mark Pergier.
31:22I 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 car, that means he planned to leave all alone.
31:34But I don't understand, why would he just vanish without telling anyone?
31:39I think someone did know.
31:46Chief Switcher wants to see you.
31:48He probably wants me to make coffee.
31:50Mm-hmm.
31:52Yeah.
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.
32:56Thank you, Chef.
32:59Thank you, God.
33:01Okay.
33:01Secre, secre.
33:05See you soon afterwards.

37:19i knew it would upset you and that
37:21to know that mark had abandoned us
37:22our family
