Alice Anderson was in a state of alarm. Her fifteen year old son, Bruce Brenizer had just called with disturbing information. His father, Rick, was missing. So was his father\u2019s girlfriend, Ruth Berentson. Ruth\u2019s daughters, Mindy and Heidi, along with Bruce\u2019s half-sister, Crystal, had vanished as well. Alice made several phone calls before she determined that it was time to involve the police. Someone needed to find this missing family.
