Ronna Bremer The Silence That Lasted Thirty-Eight Years_mixdown
or 38 years, the truth remained buried in silence. In this gripping episode of Among Monsters, Myia Hanson unravels the haunting case of Ronna Bremer, a 22-year-old pregnant mother who vanished just days before Christmas in 1988. As decades passed, secrets, conflicting stories, and unanswered questions kept her family waiting for justice. But when a cold case investigation uncovered new evidence, the silence finally began to break. This is the story of a life stolen, a family forever changed, and the relentless pursuit of the truth.

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.679
There are nights when the silence feels ordinary. The wind
2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.880
moves through the bare trees, A porch light flickers against
3
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.119
the darkness. A family locks their doors, says good night,
4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.600
and expects tomorrow to arrive, just like every other day.
5
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:23.039
But sometimes tomorrow never comes for someone. Sometimes a person
6
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:30.239
simply disappears. No goodbye, no witness, no explanation, only questions,
7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.320
questions that grow heavier with every passing birthday, every holiday,
8
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.359
every year that slips away without answers. For one Missouri family,
9
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.920
those questions lasted nearly four decades. A young mother to
10
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.000
be only twenty two years old, seven months pregnant, vanished
11
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.520
just days before Christmas in nineteen eighty eight. She left
12
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.479
behind a family searching for hope. She left behind investigators
13
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:01.280
struggling to separate truth from deception, and she left behind
14
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.400
a mystery that would haunt Christian County, Missouri, for generations.
15
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:11.920
Years past, people moved, memories faded, evidence grew old. Many
16
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:15.359
believed the truth had disappeared forever. But time has a
17
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.920
way of revealing what people work desperately to hide. Sometimes
18
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:27.560
justice doesn't arrive quickly. Sometimes it waits patiently. Sometimes it
19
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.480
takes thirty eight years before the silence finally begins to break.
20
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:36.159
I'm my avail and this is Among Monsters. Welcome back
21
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.640
to Among Monsters. This podcast explores the darkest crimes ever
22
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.920
committed while honoring the victims whose stories deserve to be remembered.
23
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:50.120
Today's episode tells the story of Rana Breemer, a young
24
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.200
Missouri woman whose disappearance became one of the Ozark's longest
25
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.159
running cold cases. Because this case is currently active in
26
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.640
the courts, it's important to explained something before we begin.
27
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.439
Everything you'll hear today is based on documented investigative records,
28
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.400
public court filings, and statements made by law enforcement where
29
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.879
criminal charges have recently been filed. Those allegations remain accusations
30
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.479
that have not yet been proven in court, and every
31
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.400
defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. With that said,
32
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:32.280
let's begin In nineteen eighty eight. Rona Breemer was only
33
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.879
twenty two years old. She wasn't famous, she wasn't wealthy,
34
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:40.960
She wasn't someone whose face appeared on television. She was
35
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.919
simply a young woman looking forward to becoming a mother.
36
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.000
Friends described her as caring and excited about the future.
37
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.199
She was seven months pregnant Christmas was only days away.
38
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.280
Instead of decorating a nursery, she disappeared. That single moment
39
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.560
would leave her family search for answers for nearly four decades.
40
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.400
No one knew then that they were standing at the
41
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.960
beginning of one of Missouri's most heartbreaking cold cases. Southern
42
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:16.360
Missouri can be beautiful in December, cold mornings, gray skies,
43
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.360
fields stretching towards the horizon. Small towns where neighbors know
44
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.919
each other's names, places where serious crime seems impossible. Christian
45
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.759
County wasn't known for mysterious disappearances. Most people expected to
46
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.759
grow old beside the same neighbors they'd known for years,
47
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.639
which is exactly why Rana's disappearance stunned the community. When
48
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.560
someone vanishes from a place where everyone knows everyone, people notice,
49
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:52.639
Rumors spread quickly, but rumors are never evidence. Investigators needed facts. Unfortunately,
50
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.759
there were very few. In December nineteen eighty eight, authorities
51
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.199
received a report that Rona Breemer was missing. She had
52
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.400
seemingly vanished from her home south of Ozark. She was
53
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.439
seven months pregnant. There were no confirmed sightings showing where
54
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.800
she had gone, no obvious trail no clear explanation, investigators
55
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:22.399
began treating it as a missing person's case. Family members searched,
56
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.879
friends hoped. Police followed every lead they could. But days
57
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.759
turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and the trail
58
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.759
kept growing colder. Every missing person investigation faces the same
59
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:44.800
brutal enemy time. With every passing hour, witnesses forget, evidence disappears,
60
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:52.040
memories change, and unless investigators discover something significant, cases slowly
61
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:56.439
began slipping into silence. That is exactly what happened here.
62
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:02.120
Imagine living every single day wondering whether your daughter, your sister,
63
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.639
your friend might still walk through the front door. Every
64
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.759
phone call becomes hope, Every unknown vehicle feels important, Every
65
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:16.279
rumor seems worth chasing. Families of missing people rarely get
66
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:21.680
to grief because grief requires certainty. Instead, they live somewhere
67
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.240
between hope and heartbreak. For Rona's loved ones, that uncertainty
68
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:33.199
stretched not for months, but for decades. For investigators, the
69
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.560
first forty eight hours are often the most critical. Witnesses
70
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:43.399
remember details, physical evidence is still fresh, vehicles haven't been repaired,
71
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:49.199
homes haven't been cleaned, people haven't had time to coordinate stories.
72
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.600
But when days become weeks, those advantages begin disappearing. That
73
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.879
is exactly what happened in the search for Verna Breamer.
74
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:03.399
Detectives interviewed people who knew her. They retraced her known movements.
75
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.120
They tried to determine what had happened during the days
76
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.800
leading up to her disappearance. They looked for evidence that
77
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:16.160
she had left voluntarily. Nothing supported that idea. Rono was
78
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.439
seven months pregnant, she had family who cared about her.
79
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.800
There was no meaningful indication that she intended to simply
80
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.399
vanish and start over somewhere else. As the weeks turned
81
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:32.600
into months, investigators began facing the difficult possibility that they
82
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.040
were no longer searching for a missing woman. They might
83
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:40.279
be searching for the victim of a homicide. Every cold
84
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:45.439
case develops its own list of unanswered questions. Who saw
85
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.120
the victim last, what was happening in their life? Who
86
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:55.240
stood to benefit from their disappearance? Was their violence? Was
87
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:59.240
their planning? Or was everything over in a matter of moments.
88
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:05.079
In Rona's case, those questions lingered year after year. People
89
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:11.560
remembered conversations differently. Rumors circulated throughout the community. Some believed
90
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.079
they knew exactly what had happened. Others insisted they knew
91
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.480
nothing at all. But investigators couldn't solve the case with rumors.
92
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.079
They needed evidence, and evidence was painfully scarce. While the
93
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.920
investigation slowed, life continued for everyone else. Children grew up,
94
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:38.000
businesses changed, roads were widened, homes were remodeled, people moved away.
95
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:42.920
But for Rona's family, time seemed frozen. In December nineteen
96
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:48.199
eighty eight, birthdays arrived without celebration. Christmas carried a shadow.
97
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.879
Every family gathering contained an empty place, and perhaps the
98
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.040
most heartbreaking thought of all, Rona's unborn child never had
99
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:02.519
the chance to experience a single birthday. Two lives had vanished.
100
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.399
One family carried the loss every single day. The nineteen
101
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.120
nineties came and went. Technology improved, DNA testing became more advanced,
102
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:21.199
computers replaced filing cabinets, Investigative techniques evolved dramatically across America,
103
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.639
Cases once considered impossible began to reopen. Families who had
104
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.040
nearly given up hope started receiving phone calls they never expected.
105
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.960
We have new evidence. We're taking another look. We think
106
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.879
we found something. Those words changed lives. Could they one
107
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:46.360
day change Rona Breemer's case. Two investigators refused to completely
108
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.559
let it disappear. Hold cases often sit quietly until one
109
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:55.879
small piece of information changes everything. It's easy to think
110
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:00.440
that if decades passed, justice will never come. My history
111
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.360
tells a different story. Every year, investigators solve murders that
112
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.879
are twenty, thirty, even fifty years old. Sometimes it's DNA,
113
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:16.759
sometimes it's improved forensic science. Sometimes a witness finally decides
114
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.320
to tell the truth. Sometimes someone who kept a secret
115
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.919
for years can no longer live with it. Cold cases
116
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:28.799
are never truly forgotten. They wait. They wait for science,
117
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.759
They wait for courage, They wait for one piece of
118
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:38.440
evidence that was impossible to analyze years earlier. Rana Breemer's
119
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.799
case would eventually become one of those investigations, but it
120
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:48.080
would take extraordinary patience. Christian County changed over the years.
121
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.080
New families moved into the area. Young people grew up
122
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.879
without remembering the headlines from nineteen eighty eight, Yet longtime
123
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.639
residents still remembered. If Rana's name came up, many would
124
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:06.639
quietly say, I remember that I always wondered what happened.
125
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.840
Cases like this become part of a community's history. Not
126
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:17.159
because people enjoy talking about tragedy, but because unanswered questions linger.
127
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.960
The absence of justice leaves an unfinished chapter, and unfinished
128
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:26.879
chapters have a way of staying with people. Although public
129
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:32.639
attention faded, law enforcement periodically returned to the file. Old
130
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:38.519
interviews were reviewed, evidence was re examined, relationships were studied again.
131
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:45.039
As investigative methods improved, detectives continued looking for opportunities to
132
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.519
answer questions that couldn't be answered. In nineteen eighty eight,
133
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:53.840
cases that once seemed impossible were becoming solvable across the country.
134
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.679
There was reason to believe that if enough evidence could
135
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.960
be gathered, Rona's story might find I only have an ending.
136
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.279
At this point, no one knew that a breakthrough would
137
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.960
still be years in the future. The family continued waiting,
138
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.200
investigators continued working. The file remained open, and somewhere the
139
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:20.000
truth still existed. It had not disappeared, It had only
140
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:25.039
been hidden. Sometimes a cold case changes because someone decides
141
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.799
to speak. Other times it changes because a single piece
142
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.480
of evidence resurfaces. In Rona Breemer's case, one of the
143
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:38.360
most significant developments came years after she disappeared. In nineteen
144
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.879
ninety one, the Green County Sheriff's Office received a human
145
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:46.519
skull that had been delivered anonymously. No one knew exactly
146
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.480
who had sent it, no one knew where it had
147
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.840
truly came from, and investigators had no immediate way to
148
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:59.679
identify it. The skull represented both hope and frustration. It
149
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.360
was evidence, but evidence without a name. Without an identity,
150
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:09.759
it couldn't answer the questions investigators desperately needed answered, so
151
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.679
it was examined using the forensic tools available at the time.
152
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.360
An artist even created a facial reconstruction in hopes that
153
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:23.519
someone would recognized the victim. No one did. The mystery remained.
154
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.000
Imagine being an investigator. You have human remains. You know
155
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:34.200
they belonged to someone's daughter, someone's sister, someone's loved one,
156
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:40.480
but you don't know who's That uncertainty haunted the case. Meanwhile,
157
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.279
Rana's family continued to live without answers. Was she still
158
00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:51.159
alive somewhere or had the unthinkable already happened? Without confirmation,
159
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:55.919
hope and grief existed side by side. It is one
160
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.639
of the cruelest realities faced by families a missing persons.
161
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:05.440
Years later, advances in forensic science allowed investigators to revisit
162
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.799
the evidence. Dental records, along with additional forensic testing, finally
163
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.720
provided the answer. The skull belonged to Ronna Breamer. The
164
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.120
confirmation was heartbreaking. The woman who had disappeared while pregnant
165
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.879
had not simply walked away. She was dead. Yet, even
166
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:31.440
with that discovery, the investigation still faced enormous obstacles. The
167
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.039
remainder of her body was never recovered, her exact cause
168
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.720
of death could not be determined from the skull alone,
169
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:43.360
and investigators still lacked enough evidence to bring criminal charges.
170
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.279
The case once again settled into silence. One misconception people
171
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:53.320
often have is that the cold cases are forgotten. Most aren't.
172
00:13:54.360 --> 00:14:00.679
They're revisited, sometimes every few years, sometimes whenever technology improves.
173
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:08.039
Detectives reread interviews, They compare timelines, They examined photographs. They
174
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:13.320
look for inconsistencies that earlier investigators may have missed. Fresh
175
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.639
eyes often noticed details hidden in plain sight. The Christian
176
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:22.519
County Sheriff's Office continued returning to Rona's case. Each generation
177
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:28.320
of investigators inherited the same responsibility find the truth, no
178
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:32.480
matter how long it takes. The twenty first century changed
179
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:39.480
criminal investigations forever, DNA technology became dramatically more sensitive. Evidence
180
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:45.639
that once seemed useless could suddenly produce answers. Tiny biological samples.
181
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.720
Fragments invisible to the naked eye could now identify individuals
182
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:55.480
with remarkable accuracy. Cases across the country that had gathered
183
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.879
dust for decades suddenly came back to life. Investigators began
184
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.360
and asking an important question, if we tested this evidence
185
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.000
again today, would we learn something we couldn't have learned
186
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.360
in nineteen eighty eight For Rana Breamer. That question would
187
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:16.159
eventually become the turning point. In late twenty twenty four,
188
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:21.480
the Christian County Sheriff's Office officially reopened the investigation once again.
189
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:27.480
Detectives reviewed decades of reports. Old evidence was submitted for
190
00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:34.120
modern forensic analysis. New interviews were conducted. Investigators traveled outside
191
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.559
Missouri following leads connected to the case. They also worked
192
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.320
alongside a documentary production team that have renewed public interest
193
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:49.759
in Rana's disappearance, helping generate fresh attention and new investigative opportunities.
194
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.360
Cold case investigations often depend on persistence. Someone remembers something,
195
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:01.000
someone decides to cooperate, someone finally fales ready to tell
196
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:06.480
the truth. Every interview mattered, every document mattered, Every piece
197
00:16:06.519 --> 00:16:11.039
of evidence mattered. One of the most important developments involved
198
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.919
evidence that had actually been collected decades earlier. In nineteen
199
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:21.639
eighty nine, investigators had preserved biological evidence. At the time,
200
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.639
science simply wasn't advanced enough to fully analyze it. But
201
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:31.559
decades later, modern forensic DNA testing was able to develop
202
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:36.440
information that investigators previously could not obtain. Evidence that had
203
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:42.519
sat quietly for years suddenly began speaking. For detectives, this
204
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.159
represented something they had been waiting decades to hear. Not rumors,
205
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.320
not speculation. Evidence, the kind of evidence that could be
206
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.440
presented before a grand jury, the kind that could potentially
207
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:01.759
support criminal charges. Nearly thirty eight years years after Roana disappeared,
208
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:06.319
the investigation reached a milestone many thought might never come.
209
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.319
A Christian County grand jury return an indictment. Authorities announced
210
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.680
the arrest of Joel Breemer on charges related to the
211
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.920
death of Rana and her unborn child. Law enforcement has
212
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:23.279
stated that the charges are supported by newly developed DNA evidence,
213
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:28.920
renewed investigative work, and additional witness interviews. The case is
214
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.720
now moving through the Missouri court system. As with every
215
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.920
criminal prosecution, those allegations will ultimately be tested in court,
216
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.559
and the justice system, not public opinion, will determine guilt
217
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.640
or innocence. It is easy, when discussing evidence DNA court
218
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.160
hearings to forget the people at the center of the story.
219
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.119
Rana was twenty two, She had two young children. She
220
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:01.319
was expecting another baby. She never had the opportunity to
221
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:05.039
watch those children grow. Her unborn child never had the
222
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:10.279
opportunity to be born. For nearly four decades, her family waited,
223
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.000
not because waiting healed anything, but because waiting was all
224
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.400
they had. One of the hardest parts of investigating a
225
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:24.319
homicide is separating memory from truth. People remember events differently.
226
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:30.279
Some details fade naturally, others change over time, and sometimes
227
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.200
investigators begin noticing that certain stories don't simply differ, they conflict.
228
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:41.920
That happened in Rana Breamer's case. As detectives revisited interviews
229
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.160
years later, they compared every statement with physical evidence and
230
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:51.200
with the accounts given by other witnesses. Slowly, patterns begin
231
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.720
to emerge. According to Joel Breemer's original account to investigators,
232
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.599
he and Rona argued on the night of December twentieth,
233
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:03.359
nineteen eighty eight. He said he left the house on
234
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.599
foot after the argument. His sister, Barbara Gray later a
235
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.920
reported receiving a phone call from Rana around ten thirty
236
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.079
that night asking whether Joel was there. Barbara told investigators
237
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.400
he wasn't. She then said her husband, David Gray, and
238
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.880
another relative went out looking for Joel, but claimed they
239
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:25.880
never found him. Joel later told investigators he became cold,
240
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.000
returned home and fell asleep in the living room with
241
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:33.160
the couple's two children. According to his account, he didn't
242
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.640
realize Rana was missing until the following morning. For detectives,
1
00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.679
2
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:09.880
