00:00Becky. Oh, Becky. Well, that's kind of a long story. Let me call you later. All right. You drive safely

06:52All right.
06:57All right.
07:00All right.
07:04Yeah. Let me get you a cup of coffee and one of Naomi's famous apple fritters.
07:08Oh, that sounds amazing, but can I get a rain check? I actually have to go.
07:12Of course.
07:13Thanks, Cheryl. Bye, Nora.
07:15Naomi.
07:16Bye.
07:18She seems sweet.
07:20I wonder where she was running off to.
07:27I've been hearing about this scene.
07:29Yeah?
07:30You maybe want to go to it?
07:32I would love to, yeah.
07:33I've met some people that are going.
07:35Okay.
07:35I've had some fun.
07:36Have you?
07:37Yeah.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Okay.
07:40It's time to go, Esther.
07:43I'll ask you back to work anyway.
07:47Goodbye, Leroy.
07:48Bye, Esther.
07:49See you soon.
07:57Levi.
07:58What did I say?
07:59There's nothing wrong with a little puppy love.
08:01Cheryl, you're making it worse.
08:05Have a good night, Cheryl.
08:07You too.
08:18I didn't think anyone was still in the store.
08:20I didn't mean to scare you.
08:22I was just collecting donations.
08:24Something from the store or cash.
08:27Who are the donations for?
08:31It's for a women's charity.
08:33Well, I'm closing now.
08:35You'll have to come back another time.
08:38Yeah, I'll come back.
08:53Cheryl?
08:54Oh, hey, Cassie.
08:57Oh, my gosh.
08:57What are the chances of bumping into you here?
09:00Well, Sugar Creek is a small town, and there aren't many places open past six, so I'd say
09:04the chances are pretty good.
09:06Don't people eat dinner?
09:08I think they cook.
09:10Hmm.
09:10I'm more of a takeout girl.
09:12Me too.
09:12Where are you from?
09:13Philly.
09:14So what are you doing in Sugar Creek?
09:16I'm writing a travel piece.
09:18Sugar Creek is part of a series on the hidden gems of the Midwest.
09:21A writer.
09:22Mm-hmm.
09:22Sounds like fun.
09:23It is.
09:24Yeah, I really like to live like a local when I'm here, so if you have any tips...
09:29Oh, I'm not sure I'd qualify as a local yet.
09:31I'm here running the Swiss Miss for my aunt while she's away.
09:34Well, you seem really tight with the Amish community.
09:36Yeah, they've been very welcoming.
09:38But between you and me, there are some things I still miss about Chicago.
09:42Like a place to eat after 8 p.m.?
09:44Yes, and the pizza.
09:47Hmm.
09:47Have you had the deep dish from Giordano's?
09:50It's the best.
09:52Ugh.
09:53Now I want pizza.
09:54One of my friends always has a pizza party there for their birthday, but I'm gonna miss it this year.
10:00Oh, why not go?
10:01I just can't get away.
10:03Too much going on.
10:04Do you have family here or a boyfriend?
10:07No, but I do have a cat, Beau, who came with the house.
10:11Actually, he's probably wondering where his dinner is.
10:14I should get going.
10:17Hope you come by the store sometime.
10:19I will.
10:20Thanks, Cheryl.
10:20Bye.
10:21Bye.
10:22Bye.
10:22Bye.
10:22Bye.
10:22Bye.
10:22Bye.
10:23Bye.
10:23Bye.
10:24Bye.
10:24Bye.
10:32Bye.
10:33Bye.
10:38Bye.
10:43Oh, no.
10:45No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:48No sign of a break-in?
10:50The front door was locked like it always is.
10:52We all sense a key.
10:54Just Naomi Miller.
10:55But she would never take anything without telling me.
10:58Do you know how much the items were worth?
11:00No.
11:01Naomi's father made them as a gift for my aunt.
11:04Can you think of anyone who might have done this?
11:07I don't know.
11:08I don't know.
11:08It was just a normal day.
11:11Well, if you can think of anything unusual, let us know.
11:15Let's try to find your aunt's toys.
11:18They're not toys.
11:21Okay.
11:22Figurines.
11:24Don't worry.
11:24We'll find whoever it is.
11:26In other words, stay out of it.
11:28I know you like to help, but we can handle this.
11:30And pass that on to your friend, Naomi Miller.
11:36Morning, Mrs. Miller.
11:38Morning.
11:39We were just talking about you.
11:41Good day.
11:47Are you all right?
11:48No.
11:49Someone took the figurines your father made.
11:52Who would do such a thing?
11:54I have no idea.
11:56From what I can tell, they didn't take anything else.
11:59You didn't notice anything unusual yesterday, did you?
12:01No, I don't think so.
12:04Aunt Mitzi's going to be heartbroken.
12:05We will find them.
12:07Twitchell said to stay out of it.
12:09Oh, please, Cheryl.
12:11Do you really think the police are concerned about Mitzi's figurines or Agnes' quilts?
12:17Well, he did say it pretty clearly.
12:20What he does not know will not hurt him.
12:23Oh, no.
12:26I did think there was something strange about that girl who fell out of her chair.
12:30I bumped into Cassie last night.
12:32She's just here writing an article about Sugar Creek.
12:35All right.
12:36Then who?
12:37What about that boy staying with the Berry Hills?
12:39He was in here yesterday.
12:41Gage?
12:43I do not think we should jump to conclusions.
12:45There were many people here yesterday.
12:48You're right.
12:48I should go talk to Agnes and see who overlaps.
12:52Good idea.
12:53We do know that whoever did it is not Amish.
12:57We do?
12:58Amish do not steal.
12:59Mm-hmm.
13:00Well, the robberies seem to happen around the time you found someone sleeping in your barn,
13:04so they could be connected.
13:06I will talk to Seth and Levi about it.
13:10Let's talk later.
13:11Okay.
13:13Hi, ma'am.
13:19Here.
13:20Thanks.
13:24You know, Leroy, the boy who was here yesterday, has been doing some work next door for Agnes.
13:33And I thought, since we need some shelves in the back room, he might be able to work for you
13:40too.
13:42Well, that's not a bad idea.
13:44Why don't you tell him to come by?
13:46Oh.
13:47And Esther, let me know if you want any dating advice.
13:50Cyril!
13:51What?
13:52Just trying to help.
13:54Why don't you flip the sign?
14:02Hi, Agnes.
14:03See you put in some extra security.
14:05Can't be too careful these days.
14:07I was wondering, did you happen to see anyone unfamiliar in the shop the day of the robbery?
14:13Just like I told Chief Twitchell, just like any other day.
14:17In here, there were all my old customers.
14:20And there was that foster boy, though, that stays with Marion.
14:26Gage was here?
14:28Gage?
14:29He's always walking around with his head down and his hands stuffed in his pockets.
14:34I do wonder why a teenage boy would be interested in quilting.
14:39I don't know.
14:41I would talk to Marion, but you know how people can be.
14:47So nothing else out of the ordinary?
14:51Well, there was this man that came in kind of raggedy-looking.
14:55He said he was looking for donations.
14:57I gave him five bucks and sent him on his way.
15:06You're a pretty good detective.
15:08Thanks, Agnes.
15:10I'll let you know if I find anything.
15:24Oh, hey, um...
15:27Johnson.
15:28Johnson, right.
15:30You here for the donation?
15:32Well, sorry, it's been a really busy day.
15:34But if you just want to leave the address of your charity, happy to drop something off?
15:41That's okay, I'll come back.
15:43Wait, what was the name of your charity again?
15:52You got a pen?
15:53I'll write down the address.
16:10Thanks.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Johnson?
16:19What?
16:20Why did you take a picture of that guy?
16:22Because he's a suspect.
16:23To what?
16:25Someone stole my Aunt Mitzi's figurines from the store.
16:29You were wrong?
16:30Yep.
16:31And so was the quilt shop next door.
16:33So what makes him a suspect?
16:35Well, he's been asking around for donations to a charity he can't remember the name of,
16:39and he just happens to be around every time there's a robbery.
16:42Okay.
16:43Yeah.
16:43That's weird.
16:44I think I'm going to go check it out.
16:46Want to go with me?
16:47Are you serious?
16:49Uh, yes.
16:51Mm-hmm.
16:52Great.
17:08I wonder who it is that is staying in our barn.
17:11Does it matter?
17:14Well, what if it is the person that stole Mitzi's figurines or Agnes's quilt?
17:18Naomi, you do not know that.
17:20So it is all right for us to let potential criminals spend the night in our barn freely?
17:27If there are criminals, should we, uh, charge them?
17:30Levi.
17:32How shall we go about it?
17:34Well, I have a plan.
17:36I know you do.
17:40One of us should spend the night in the barn until our visitor returns.
17:46And by that, you mean one of us.
17:48I am brave enough to spend the night in the barn if you two strong men are not.
17:55I will spend the night in the barn.
17:58Are you sure?
18:01I do not doubt your brave room, ma'am.
18:03But for some reason, now I feel I must prove mine.
18:28Naomi, come to bed.
18:32Do you think Levi is safe?
18:36He's a 30-year-old man.
18:38He can take care of himself.
18:48Naomi.
18:49All right.
18:53All right.
18:55All right.
19:18Who's there?
19:19Who's there?
19:23Who's there?
19:28Who's there?
19:36Seth.
19:40Seth.
19:45Who is it?
19:46Someone is downstairs.
19:52Who's there?
20:03Levi?
20:04Levi?
20:06Levi.
20:07You're supposed to be in the barn.
20:09It's cold and creaky.
20:12Honestly, anyone who can sleep in that barn deserves it.
20:14Unbelievable.
20:17Men.
20:27So you're no closer than you were before?
20:29No.
20:30As a matter of fact, they left a note with some money for the preserves this morning.
20:34As if I'm running a bed and breakfast.
20:38Well, at least they're polite and have nice handwriting.
20:41I suppose so.
20:43Can I keep this?
20:44Why?
20:45Come on.
20:46I'll show you.
20:54What is this?
20:55Well, it's a work in progress, but I've been gathering any clues that might be helpful.
21:01Wow.
21:02Until we know who it is, your visitor is a suspect.
21:06What about this man?
21:07That's Johnson.
21:08He's been asking around town for donations to a charity that might not exist.
21:12I'm going to go check it out tonight.
21:14Are you sure that will not be dangerous?
21:17I'm going to take Cassie with me.
21:19Well, I'm sure I have nothing to worry about, but I will say a prayer for you all the same.
21:32Are you going to take a lunch break?
21:35Maybe.
21:36Are you?
21:37I bring my lunch, but I have extra to share if you would like.
21:40That's very generous.
21:58Are you hungry?
22:00I'm starving.
22:01Okay.
22:04Okay.
22:05Where do we start?
22:06Okay.
22:07Wow.
22:08Leroy.
22:09How long have you been doing this kind of work?
22:12Well, I went into business for myself recently, but I've been working with my father since I was a boy.
22:17Where are you from?
22:18Cheryl, that is enough questions.
22:20What?
22:21It's all right, Esther.
22:23From Pennsylvania.
22:24Only been here a few weeks.
22:25My little brother's going through Rumspringham, so I moved here with some friends and keep an eye on him for
22:30my family.
22:31That is so kind of you.
22:33Any big brother would do such a thing.
22:35I'm not so sure.
22:37Better get back to it.
22:39Enjoy your lunch.
22:44Do you want a sandwich?
22:45Yeah.
22:47Turn right in 1,000 feet.
22:51You have arrived.
23:04This doesn't look like a charity.
23:08Well, let's go find out.
23:18Who's that?
23:22Oh, no.
23:24Maybe we should go.
23:27Johnson!
23:28Hey, you made it.
23:31Is this where your charity is?
23:33Yeah, it's right up here.
23:36Come on.
23:43Follow me.
23:50That's the lady I told you about.
23:52She has a donation.
23:53Hi, ladies.
23:54I'm Angela.
23:54Hey, Angela.
23:55I'm Cheryl.
23:56Cassie.
23:57Thanks for meeting you.
23:58I'll add some work to you.
23:59I'll see you later.
24:00Okay.
24:01These are for you.
24:06What's the gifts they brought?
24:12Have a seat.
24:13Oh.
24:16Thanks.
24:17What does Johnson do here?
24:20Johnson is such a blessing.
24:22His sister stayed here for a while last year.
24:25Poor girl.
24:26Ever since he's been volunteering here.
24:29He's even trying to find us a bigger home in memory of her.
24:33That's so sweet.
24:36Excuse me.
24:45Hi.
24:46Hi.
24:49I used to can some vegetables from my garden.
24:55Well, a dear friend of mine made those, and I can promise you they are amazing.
25:00Do you want to sit down?
25:03Okay.
25:06Yeah.
25:10My grandmother, she left me her heirloom seeds, and I don't have them anymore.
25:18I know.
25:19They seem silly to worry about, but I can't help it.
25:23It doesn't seem silly.
25:26Sometimes I think God wants us to know that the little things that matter to us matter to
25:31Him, too.
25:31Mm-hmm.
25:40Thank you so much.
25:42Bye.
25:45Bye, ladies.
25:54I could not have been more wrong about Johnson.
25:57Yeah.
25:59And you're not any closer to finding the thief.
26:01I can't help but think that this thief is the same person who's sleeping in Naomi's barn.
26:06So if we find them...
26:08Who knows?
26:09It might be somebody totally different.
26:12I guess you could be right.
26:21Thanks for coming with me tonight.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Anytime.
26:27That was not what I was expecting.
26:29You probably shouldn't write about it.
26:31Yeah, of course.
26:33I'm not going to put that in the article.
26:37Night, Cheryl.
26:38Night, Cassie.
26:51Naomi, do you know what heirloom seeds are?
26:54Of course.
26:55Do you want some?
26:56Turns out the man I thought was a suspect is actually volunteering at a women's shelter.
27:01Well, I'm glad to hear that.
27:03But what does that have to do with seeds?
27:05Well, I told one of the ladies there I'd see about getting her some.
27:08She had to leave behind the seeds her grandmother gave her.
27:11Oh, we can do that.
27:14Thanks.
27:15So that's Johnson off the suspect list.
27:18I guess that only leaves Gage?
27:20Well, Gage is staying with Marion, so we know he is not sleeping in our buggy.
27:26Hi, just stopping by for some coffee.
27:28Hi, Naomi.
27:29Naomi.
27:30Oh, those look amazing.
27:31Did you make those?
27:32Yes.
27:33Naomi, would you be helping her with that?
27:35Sure.
27:37Excuse me, miss.
27:39Oh, how much is this tablecloth?
27:41Oh, I'm sorry.
27:45Cassie.
27:46Let me help you.
27:49Oh, I got it.
27:50Thanks.
27:52Bye.
27:53See you later.
27:54See you, Cassie.
27:56Oh, your muffin.
27:58Oh, your muffin.
28:03It looks good in here.
28:05You should see the project I'm working on in Berlin.
28:07I would like to.
28:08Have a good one.
28:18Hey, Gage.
28:20What's up?
28:23Hello.
28:24Did you find everything okay?
28:25Yes, I did.
28:26I did.
28:30That will be 2235.
28:34I'll go get Cheryl to see.
28:35Uh, she's busy.
28:37But I'll come back around noon tomorrow, if you want to eat lunch together.
28:41I would like that.
28:44Bye, Esther.
28:45Bye, Leroy.
28:51Thanks, Leroy.
28:52Bye.
28:57Yeah, Esther.
28:59All right, that'll be 947.
29:02Can I break a 50?
29:03Sure.
29:05Oh, um, looks like I'm all out of small bills.
29:09That's all I have.
29:10Okay, just give me a sec.
29:12Esther, I'm running to the back.
29:13Okay.
29:16Wow, this looks great.
29:31No.
29:33No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:42Esther?
29:43Can you come here a minute?
29:44Yeah, I'll be right back.
29:46Sorry.
29:49Did you take any money out of the cash box?
29:52No.
29:53Why?
29:55We've been robbed.
29:56Again.
30:04How much cash?
30:05A few hundred dollars.
30:07Just small bills for the register.
30:09Was it in a safe?
30:10No, it was in a cash box.
30:12Who has access to the back room?
30:14Only us.
30:15Well, and Leroy.
30:16Leroy would not take it.
30:17He's a good kid.
30:18He was working in and out of the back room with the door open all day.
30:22So I guess anyone could have gone in there.
30:24Leroy is still a suspect.
30:25He's Amish.
30:26Stealing is not in our nature.
30:29Anyone in the store who seemed suspicious?
30:31There were a lot of customers.
30:33But right before I found the empty cash box, I saw Gage, the boy who was staying with
30:38the Berry Hills.
30:39Mm-hmm.
30:40Mm-hmm.
30:42You gonna write that down?
30:46Happy?
30:48We'll let you know if we have any news.
30:51Have a good day.
30:52That's it?
30:53I was robbed twice in one week, and all you can say is have a good day?
30:56We're doing the best we can.
30:58That's what worries me.
31:00Take care, ladies.
31:05Can you believe I had to tell Twitchell to write down Gage's name when he's our only suspect?
31:09Well, it is possible he did not do it.
31:13Now you're on their side?
31:14No, of course not.
31:15But you yourself said that there were many people in the store today, and there were plenty
31:20of people that could have taken the money.
31:22I've got a bad feeling about that kid.
31:24But you do not have any evidence.
31:27I was robbed twice in one week, and he was here both times.
31:31Seems like evidence to me.
31:32I was robbed twice in one week.
32:25Naomi!
32:27Naomi!
32:31Naomi, stop!
32:32I need to see who it is.
32:46I promise I'll confront them tomorrow if you come back to bed.
32:49Just a moment.
32:51Let me check in here.
33:01It looks like a diary.
33:11Gage did not rob the store.
33:14Then who did?
33:16What's that?
33:17I went out last night to see if I could find who was staying in our barn.
33:21They got away, but this notebook was in the buggy.
33:25It is the same notebook that Cassie dropped in here yesterday.
33:30Cassie?
33:31Mm-hmm.
33:32Her handwriting was so similar to the note that was left to buy the preserves that I just had
33:38to find out.
33:39And this is the evidence.
33:42Read this.
33:43The first one is about an Anglisher who stays in an Amish family's farm in the 1930s.
33:50And the second one is about you.
33:53Me?
33:57Cheryl thinks she's the Sherlock Holmes of Sugar Creek, but she was just a nosy millennial in
34:03serious need of a boyfriend?
34:05Why would she write that?
34:06Hey, why don't you ask her?
34:14You were sleeping in Naomi's barn, stealing, and now you're writing about me?
34:19Yes and no.
34:21Just give me a chance to explain.
34:24Go on.
34:25I'm not writing an article.
34:26I'm writing a novel.
34:28Why would you lie about that?
34:29During the Great Depression, my great-grandfather stayed in an Amish barn right here in Sugar
34:34Creek.
34:34He became friends with the family, and he met the daughter of a local farmer, the woman
34:40who would become my great-grandmother.
34:42He told me their story all the time as a kid.
34:45So that's why I came here.
34:47I wanted to find that barn.
34:49And I did.
34:51The Miller's barn.
34:53So you wanted to stay where he stayed to what?
34:56To tell his story?
35:00I know that I should have told you and your husband, but I was afraid that you would say
35:04no.
35:05That still doesn't explain why you stole from us.
35:07All I had were some of Naomi's preserves, and I paid her back.
35:13Well, if she's telling the truth, that only leaves Gage.
35:18It's not him.
35:20I saw the guy who was helping you guys with the shelves.
35:23He's been sleeping in a car out by the lumberyard.
35:26Well, you've been sleeping in a buggy.
35:27What does that prove?
35:28I never pretended to be Amish.
35:30Leroy is Amish.
35:31He's from Pennsylvania.
35:32Do Amish drive cars and spend hours online?
35:35How do you know this?
35:37Every time that I've been to the library, he's on the computer.
35:40He was in the Swiss Miss both times I was robbed.
35:44What are we going to do?
35:46Well, if we call Twitchell, he's just going to tell us there's no evidence.
35:49Well, you two are the detectives.
35:52Oh, really?
35:52I thought I was just the nosy millennial in serious need of a boyfriend?
35:57Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
35:59But you have to admit, it's a pretty interesting storyline.
36:01We'll talk about that later.
36:05But...
36:07I do have an idea of how we can catch him.
36:26Leroy.
36:27Hi.
36:29I was just checking my brother's Facebook page.
36:31Do I need to keep an eye on him?
36:33That looks like Agnes' quilt to me.
36:35I don't know.
36:36Where'd you get that tattoo?
36:38A barn raising?
36:42Come on!
36:49Get out of my way!
36:56Nice manners.
36:58I have no idea what my daughter saw in you.
37:00You might as well turn yourself in.
37:02We all know you stole from us.
37:06Be careful!
37:08Stop it!
37:08Stop it!
37:09Be careful!
37:11Be careful!
37:18Stay down!
37:19What?
37:19I'm going to kill you!
37:20Jerk!
37:20Get off me!
37:26Why am I doing this?
37:28It's a long story.
37:31I've never really liked him anyway.
37:39Watch your head.
37:45Aunt Missy's figurines!
37:47What happened to letting me handle this?
37:50Here's his wallet.
37:54And the stolen money.
37:56Name's Lawrence Kennedy.
37:58Lawrence has a lot of explaining to do.
38:15I'm sorry.
38:16This is my fault.
38:17No, it's not.
38:18It's Leroy's fault or whatever his name was.
38:21I should have known.
38:23He could not even speak Pennsylvania Dutch.
38:25May God forgive his sins, but I hope I never see him again.
38:31Don't forget, there are some good guys out there.
38:39That was quite the tackle.
38:41I want you on my team.
38:43Is this what happens in your true crime podcasts?
38:46Probably more like Nancy Drew.
38:48Is she a friend of yours?
38:50I guess you could say that.
38:52We did spend a lot of time together when I was a kid.
38:56Oh.
39:12Hi, Mr. Miller.
39:13Well, hello.
39:14I didn't want to come empty-handed.
39:16Why, thank you.
39:17Well, come on in.
39:18The girls have a surprise cooking for you.
39:21Okay.
39:23Is there something you're doing?
39:25There you go.
39:26Cassie?
39:27Hi.
39:27What are you doing here?
39:28Hi.
39:29I hope you don't mind that I invited another dinner guest.
39:33Of course.
39:35This looks amazing.
39:38Cassie was telling us how much you've been missing your home.
39:41So we've got a recipe for deep dish pizza.
39:45Oh, it smells like heaven.
39:49Oh, everybody find a seat.
39:58Oh, there we go.
39:59And make some room.
40:01I'm coming over your head.
40:02Oh, they're huge.
40:04This looks so good.
40:06Just wait till you taste it.
40:07Cassie told us all about her great-grandfather.
40:10Turns out he was good friends with my Dottie, who built the barn almost 100 years ago.
40:14So, she's practically family.
40:17Thank you so much.
40:20Well, so, should we say grace before our pizza gets cold?
40:24Let's pray.
40:32Amen.
40:36This looks good.
40:37Very excited to try.
40:39Tonight, I finally felt real peace.
40:41Not the kind that comes and goes with the weather or with life's troubles,
40:46but a peace that is deeply rooted,
40:49just like the giant oak trees on the Miller farm.
40:53There we go.
40:54There you go, honey.
40:55Oh, may you tell us anything?
