Episode Details

After going through a divorce, Echo Lloyd moves 16-miles from her current home to rural Edward, Missouri. The property is remote. Kelsey Smith says her mom loves the “quiet” of the property and begins making plans for renovations, cleaning up the landscaping, creating ideas for how she wanted to paint the house.  

Kelsey Smith drops by her mother’s home with Mother’s day gifts. Echo’s car is not in the driveway. Kelsey leaves a purple potted plant and a card. The card has a message for Echo to call when she gets the gifts. Echo doesn’t. After a week with no contact, Kelsey returns to her mom‘s home. 

The search for Echo Lloyd begins immediately, after she doesn’t answer her daughter’s knocks on this second visit. Kelsey Smith walks around the home- front door to back, but no one answers. Echo’s car is in the driveway. Walking around the property,  Kelsey yells her mom’s name, still no reply. Kelsey notices a back window is cracked and is able to slide it open enough to climb through.  

Inside the home, Kelsey finds things in disarray, which is unusual. Echo, who had OCD, kept items in their place. Echo’s purse is under the nightstand, with her wallet and ID inside. There were noticeable missing however, the car keys, Echo’s pistol and her medications. Kelsey reports her mother missing.
