Debbie and Michael, her parents, ran over. They got to the bank in the parking lot, and they called Logan Police Dispatch to report that their daughter, who was scheduled to clock out at 1120 p.m., hadn't come out of work, and wasn't responding to their calls or text. I mean, could she be hurt inside? What was going on?

Michael Cook, Summer's dad, also spoke to the dispatcher. He told them, she's nowhere to be found. We located her jacket and her iPod. Now, I have some of that 911 call, so I'm going to play it for you. My name is Michael Cook, and I'm calling you about My daughter, Summer Inman, she works at the Queen of the Central National Bank.

We found her iPod and her jacket. She's no wear of us to be found. So they didn't see her getting put in the car. Those were the other witnesses. But they see her iPod, her car keys and her jacket, and even the battery from her cell phone, was all scattered on the ground. And it really painted a chilling picture.

Summer, walking out of work, listening to music on her way to her car, keys and cell phone in hand. when she was ambushed. Then she probably tried to use her phone to call for help, but her battery was removed and thrown on the ground. Now, what's interesting is that just blocks away, witnesses like Richard Leek, who had been there and been pepper-sprayed when he was trying to help

had already alerted police about what he saw, a violent abduction. But at the moment, no one was connecting that to Summer's disappearance from working at the bank. Because her parents and her boyfriend did not witness that part, like I said. All they knew was to report. her car still in the parking lot

and her personal belongings on the ground. That sounds a lot different than someone calling in and saying a woman is being pushed into a car by two masked men. Well, they thought they were men. And one of the girls who was walking by and witnessed the attack was Kylie Helman. I told you a little bit about her.

She was still unsure what exactly she saw earlier on Hunter Street. She had left. Now she was driving her friend home, and she and Emily were so scared when they were leaving. They left in such a hurry. And I know it's hard not to judge, looking at all that we know, but for a second, Kylie was trying to reassure herself and Emily that what they saw was probably just some kind of

undercover cop operation, maybe a drug bust or something. After all, this was a safe town. It wasn't the kind of place where kidnappings happened like this. It was much easier and more comforting to think that she was just imagining things rather than confronting the terrifying possibility that she just witnessed someone being abducted. But as she drove past Century National Bank moments later, she saw police cars parked out front, their lights were flashing. They were putting up a yellow tape locking off the scene. And that's when her stomach dropped.

Now everything was painfully clear to her. She saw what she saw. She saw a woman being taken, and her heart was racing. She immediately pulled over and she asked the officers, what is going on? When an officer told Kylie that they were investigating a possible missing person, she felt sick. She explained everything through her voice shaking and her being so nervous and scared. She said she thought she might have witnessed exactly what they're talking about. And without

hesitation, the officer directed her to drive straight to the police station and give an official statement, which she did. And once she was there, she carefully described every detail that she could remember. Two tall, masked people probably men due to their size were shoving a terrified screaming woman into the backseat of a white car. With someone in the driver's gripping the steering wheel. Kylie hadn't caught the license plate. Everything happened so fast, but she vividly remembered the car itself.

She said it looked identical to an unmarked police cruiser, which was exactly why she initially convinced herself this wasn't a kidnapping at all. Now that makes sense. But I'm glad she stopped and did the right thing by reporting what she saw. Once police made the connection between the abduction on Hunter Street and Summer's disappearance from the bank,

detectives started considering her new boyfriend, Adam, Of course they did. Adam was the last person that anyone knew had spoken to Summer, and he was also the first one that stumbled upon her scattered belongings at the scene before her parents got there. Naturally, this put him on investigators' radar. They wondered, could he somehow be involved? Had he carefully staged this to look like something that it wasn't?

Was it possible he was working alongside somebody else? Detectives quickly approached Summer's parents, hoping that they could offer some insight about Adam. Did they have any doubts about him? Had he shown any troubling behavior or any reason to suspect that he would want to hurt Summer? But Deborah and Michael were adam in telling detectives that Adam genuinely loved Summer. Their relationship was strong. It was healthy. It was free from arguments or any tension. The detective soon came to the same conclusion, and early on in the investigation,

Adam was officially cleared as a suspect. But the next question was, of course, if not Adam, was there anyone who would want to harm Summer? Did she have any enemies? Her parents didn't think there was anyone who was anyone who was anyone who? who wanted to harm Summer, but they did tell the investigators that she filed for divorce, and Will was her estranged husband. Since it's well-known that most divorces are stressful and tensions can run high, detectives want to speak with Will. The day after Summer vanished,

detectives tracked Will down to let him know she was officially missing. Will didn't have all the details since detectives were keeping that close to the best. All he knew was that she went to work than before and hadn't been heard from since. They asked, if she had been in contact with him and he said, no, the last time they communicated was to facilitate a visit with the children. He said the last time I saw her was on Thursday morning when I returned the kids.

He said, maybe Summer went off with the friend or her boyfriend because she did that all the time. That didn't exactly add up with the details that the detectives knew about. Detectives wanted to confirm that he, meaning Will, wasn't in the area that night. So they questioned him further about where he had been when Summer was abducted.

He was cooperative. He explained that he wasn't anywhere near Logan. Him and his parents had been near Cleveland, Ohio, over three hours away. That's because they were looking for a new home. They were considering relocating. So while they were out there, he explained they had car trouble on Interstate 480,

and it left them stranded overnight. According to Will, the next morning, they finally managed to get the car to an auto zone in Parma for a diagnostic before driving home. When detectives confirmed Will's story, it checked out. They reached out to Akron Police and the FBI, who spoke separately to Will and his parents

and everyone's statements lined up. There was still more to dig into when it came to the inmans. They used to be respected members of their community, but as the detectives began asking around about summer, the inmans naturally came up. People had not been happy with them for quite some time. They were pretty much ousted from their community and even the people they used to help.

Members of the Mercy Ranch Ministry were calling them fraudsters. So remember the raffles, the fundraiser, those supposed to help Bill give all these gifts away and these prizes including the ultimate prize of a new house? Well, it failed, sort of. Bill claimed that the $1 million had never been raised and therefore no cabins were built, no winners were announced. But isn't it interesting that they got to move and have a giant home for themselves with seven bedrooms? Seems like the money ran out. Not his money. The buyers started demanding refunds. And while a few were given, many said they never saw their money.

The raffle just faded away, and public suspicion began to grow. Some people believed that it was a scam from the start, and by December 1st of 2010, just months after the raffle failed, Bill and Sandy were evicted from their Vinton County home for non-payment. And apparently, the construction

that they were planning to do on those homes that the raffle was to pay for, well, there were no funds, so it couldn't be completed or started in the first place. Losing the place they were living in, also meant they lost their church, the one that they built from the ground up, and Bill lost his ministry.

The rumors and the accusations kept coming. One theory that began to emerge was that someone who had it out for the Inman family targeted Summer because she was the most vulnerable. She was all alone. She was a woman, working late, and possibly taken for ransom, to send a message that they meant business. Some of these people that the inmates had helped

in the past had criminal backgrounds. They'd fallen on her. hard times. They didn't have much to risk, and it seemed very likely that they'd be willing to take something or someone from the inmates until they were paid. This was frightening. But of course, there was no word from these kidnappers. They didn't leave a ransom note. They didn't call anyone demanding money. Nothing. And the community was on edge. A young mother of three taken from a local parking lot after a routine night shift. They were terrified. The Logan police were asking residents in the area to actually

search their own properties as police were searching parks and fields for any sign of summer, meaning maybe more of her personal belongings had been left behind or maybe someone saw something would come forward. All they had was a white car, not even sure of the make or model, and two masked men plus a getaway driver, none of which had detailed descriptions. However, they let the public know. Summer was five foot three. She was 120 pounds. She had light hair, blue eyes, and Fair skin. Summer's disappearance gripped this community. Yellow, purple, and green ribbons were appearing all over the place. Mail boxes, light posts, storefronts, a symbol of hope, love, and solidarity. Of course, people were coming forward and whispering, these type of things don't happen

in Logan. That's not entirely true. And people brought this up whenever that statement was made because something horrific had happened in their small town back in 1982. It was October 4th. when 18-year-old Annette Cooper and her fiance, 19-year-old Todd Schultz, vanished without a trace. Yeah, it was eerie. And friends and family feared the worst. The two agonizing weeks that went by and their fears were tragically confirmed. In mid-October, close to Halloween, scattered remains were discovered in the murky waters of the Hawking River and hidden among the stalks of a nearby cornfield in West Logan.

Yes, parts of the... these teenagers were scattered. Both Annette and Todd had been shot before their bodies were cut apart, a gruesome attempt by the killer to erase evidence of their brutal crime. This changed Halloween and Logan forever for some residents. They could no longer celebrate because essentially,

they would be celebrating these two innocent people being murdered. Now, initially, the suspicion landed right on the female victim Annette's own stepfather, Dale Johnson. Police quickly arrested him and charged him. And he faced trial, he was convicted, and he was sentenced to death. But after spending five years on Ohio's death row, maintaining his innocence, finally in 1990,

his conviction was overturned because of a lack of solid evidence. But it would take many years until investigators pinpointed a new direction. Eventually, evidence surfaced implicating two entirely different men, Kenneth Lindskot and Chester McKnight. Witnesses came forward and they revealed how the two men confessed to their friends. Finally, it provided closure to this decade's long nightmare.

So something horrible had happened in Logan before, and the community feared it was happening again. So now back to Summer's case, investigators were pulling CCTV footage from the bank to see if the cameras happened to catch the attacker's car pulling into a lot or any other evidence. And they spot Summer on camera. She's got her hair up in a ponytail.

She's relaxed. She's doing her everyday routine. She's wearing a black shirt that read, I don't have an anger problem. I have an idiot problem. I gotta say, I can relate. But all jokes aside, this was all they had, aside from the information from Summer's family. They had already informed them about her previous relationship with her ex-Will, and they checked out

his alibi, and next, detectives were informed of all the places where Summer frequently went. They made a list of them. The church she attended, the friends she would visit, the bank, which is obvious, and then Debbie handed them Summer's diary. Now, she wouldn't normally invade her adult daughter's privacy, but these circumstances were dire. Debbie actually read through the diary and she was stunned at some of the things she found. Now, sure, these were Summer's thoughts and feelings, but she thought it would be important for detectives to look through. She and Adam already scoured every page, trying to piece together whether it held any clues

as to anyone. Summer may have been in contact with or that would harm her, and they didn't find anything. They still thought it was important that detectives would look through because maybe they would see something they hadn't. So a number of detectives were working on different aspects of the same. Some were looking at the diary. Others were interviewing friends and family. And another group was heading out to all those different locations where some were hung out, one of which was Faith Tabernacle Church, where she and Will first met and got married. But it was also where many of the raffle ticket

buyers initially met the inmates. It was their home church, where they too had been married years ago. They wanted to interview parish, take a look around the parish, and the investigators split up with a couple heading outside to walk the perimeter. Now, this is quite a rural location. Lots of forests and ponds nearby. And they began looking around. There's a picnic bench area that's covered to the left of the main building.

There's a little playground beyond that. And then there's a small shed in the back. And when they walked that way, that's when they saw something that caught their eye. Obvious, deep tire marks in the dirt behind the main building of the church right between the shed and the sanctuary. Now, this wasn't a parking lot.

It's not a place where cars would normally drive. However, it looked like the tire tracks came from the parking lot area and that maybe a car had backed into that area or pulled in and then backed up in the same tracks because there was only two. Now I'm going to show you this path that I'm talking about. It would be right through the grass off the main parking lot and around the back deck of the church and into the back portion next to the shed. It was odd.

It didn't prove that summer was there, but these tire tracks were fairly new. And investigators were aware, that Summer was taken away inside a vehicle. So they asked for permission to search the shed, as well as the main building of the church, and the owners allowed them to do so. But nothing was found in either building. But if any of those scorned church members were involved,

the investigators wouldn't be surprised if they possibly took Summer here to hide her or worse, to take her out here to the wilderness somewhere behind the church and harm her. So they continued to make this one of their main focuses. Meanwhile, the investigators were scouring the pages of Summer's diary, and they started to get a very clear picture of why Summer no longer wanted to be married to Will Inman. I know I've already gone over some of the aspects of that marriage,

that Summer didn't agree with the polygamy, the over-the-top religious beliefs that were suffocating to her, but there was much more that Summer really didn't share publicly. Things that people would have never imagined were going on behind closed doors because from the outside looking in, the Inman family seemed happy, kind, a loving couple, and their son seemed to be the same. Despite Bill's carefully cultivated image as a devout, faith-driven family man, he had something darker lurking beneath the surface. Publicly, he came across his deeply religious, outspoken about his beliefs, and committed to his community. But privately, people described him as well as Summers' diary as rigid, overbearing, and intensely controlling,

especially whenever things didn't exactly go the way he wanted. Bill couldn't handle being questioned or disagreed with. Some even found him genuinely intimidating when he felt challenged or disrespected. It was almost like instead of just believing in God, he liked to play God himself, as though he was at a higher religious level than other people. And it wasn't just Bill who kept up this facade.

His son Will presented himself as a respectful, quiet, church-going young man, someone who seemed trustworthy and kind. But behind closed doors, Will had a controlling side that targeted Summer. He emulated his father's behavior, especially when it came to the women in his life. To outsiders, Will appeared harmless, but inside the privacy of their home,

through Summer's writings, she talked about how he wielded religion like a weapon, twisting biblical teaching into tools for dominance rather than guidance, and he enforced extreme expectations on what he considered her wifely duties. some of which I alluded to already, the demanding to please him whenever he wanted meals exactly the way he wished,

and they better still be warm. Plus, a home immaculately clean at all times, even if there were babies and toddlers running around, yeah, I think that would never happen for most of us moms. No way. And Summer had no say in anything. She had no voice. She couldn't make any of her own decisions, and her feelings meant nothing to Will. His rules weren't about partnership, they're about power and control.

cloaked behind a warped interpretation of scripture that had been passed down by his father and reinforced by his mother's submission. Will needed absolute control. Not just of some of herself, but of every aspect of her life. He monitored who she knew, who she saw, where she went, how she spent every minute of her time. I told you his parents would time her.

He would literally time her to. If she left the house, he wouldn't let her leave alone, Sandy would have to go with her. Can you imagine not having any autonomy? and just being someone's wife, being their servant almost, not even being free to go shopping on your own or have friends. Even the smallest acts of independence felt threatening to him. Meanwhile, Bill began noticing the cracks in his son's marriage,

growing wider and wider, and he knew that things were spiraling out of control, and he feared the consequences if Summer truly went through with the divorce, because that meant she would break free from the family's grip. Summer wrote about how Bill witnessed his son bickering with Summer, and instead of letting them work it out, Bill would step in, under the guise of being a minister and a mentor, someone that's supposed to be unbiased. But how could he be?

He wanted Summer to obey Will. He didn't want his grandchildren living outside of the house. He actually considered Summer's children his children, but more like property, as though they belonged to the Inman family. And Sandy, she especially had a habit of blurring boundaries. People close to Summer actually noticed that Sandy acted like she,

She, not Summer, but she was a kid's main mother figure. She would step in constantly as if the children belonged more to her than their own mother. It was as though the Inman's either couldn't or simply wouldn't accept that Summer deserved a chance to rebuild her own life. And she had every right to raise her children according to her own choices and not under the roof anymore. Summer and Will's divorce was ecromanious and the custody battle intensified. And it made the divide grow even wider between her and Will's family. And that's when the whole Adam thing happened. Investigators pulled all the records from the court.

They looked through them to get an understanding of what was going on. And in the court documents, Summer described the emotional turmoil, the cruelty that she endured from Will. She detailed how he explicitly threatened to kill her if she ever attempted to leave and take the children. Wow. Now, of course, this was all according to Summer, but there was more. Among all of these painful accusations, some involved her two house cats.

An argument had escalated so severely that Will took Summer's cats, loaded them in his car, and drove away. Later, he came back without them. And he informed Summer that he released them somewhere in an empty field. She never saw her pets again. And for someone as gentle and loving as Summer, losing her animals was devastating. But it revealed something about Will. He would deliberately hurt whatever Summer loved the most, just to punish and control her. So would he go as far as her, it's her, to her herself?

Well, actually, it seemed through the diary entries that things had cooled down. Many splits are contentious in the beginning, but once she left, the custody was split, the kids were visiting both her and Will. Things were calmer. That is until Will, who was still friends with Adam on Facebook, came across a picture on Summer's profile. It was of Adam posing with her and the kids, and Will was furious. It was as though Adam stole his family, stole his wife, stole his kids, and he wasn't having it. This was a person he called a friend, someone he trusted, and the betrayal ran deep. Apparently, Bill said he caught Adam

coming out of Summer and Will's bedroom when Adam was staying at their house. And this was before the divorce, and Bill said he never confronted Summer or Will, but instead he told his wife, and he just assumed that something intimate was going on between the two of them. He said, mistakes happened, but he wanted to make sure he got a handle on it before it ruined the marriage. But it was already too late. And we don't even know if that part is true, but from Summer's diary, she admitted in an entry, and I'm going to paraphrase this, but I'm giving you some of it verbatim, she looked into Adam's big blue eyes and she knew the devil had her. She said, Sorry I didn't listen to what God was telling me.

Sorry that I put myself in a bad position, a position where I could easily be taken advantage of, and no one would know. He saw that in me. He saw that I was scared, and it made his power even stronger. He saw that I didn't know what to do, and that I couldn't tell anyone what happened. Now, Summer's referring to the devil.

She wasn't listening to God, and she was in a bad position because she didn't listen. And according to what she's saying, this is the devil's power. that got even stronger, that the devil saw that she didn't know what to do and she couldn't tell anyone. And so she sinned. She wrote, I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't. My mind was screaming, run, get out of there now. But instead, I stayed and allowed him to dig deeper into me and pull me into his grasp. Again, she's referring to the devil. She's not saying that Adam was doing anything.

She was trying to stop herself from getting involved with Adam, whether that meant physically, or whether she just meant being pulled deeper into feelings of infatuation and love because she knew her divorce wasn't finalized yet, so she felt bad. She went on to write, quote. I wanted to run. Finally, I did run.

I ran right into his arms, and I was forever gone, referring to Adam's arms. She did consider Will's feelings, though. That's clear, because she wrote about it. She said, I don't know if it's the right time to tell Willie or not. I feel bad not telling him, because I think he deserves to know the truth, and to know that I don't want to be with him right now."

So, of course, she was thinking about the ramifications of her choices, but the choice to leave was better in her mind, and she did leave. Adam gave her the courage to leave. He was her support system. Court documents went on to describe the way she felt trapped before this, how Will would take away her keys, her cell phone, her wallet, so she couldn't spend any money. And that's also how he got her to stay home all the time.

But in these court filings, there was also response. from Will himself. He said he had reasons, and he put them forth to the court about why he would take her cell phone away or her car keys. He said it was because she was cheating, or he suspected it. And then he never killed her cats or put them in a field for them to run away.

He said they weren't even pets. They were feral cats from the outdoors, and they were ruining their home. He said they were clawing up a bunch of their furniture, and one time he tried to pick one up, and it scratched him. So it was in the best interest of the children and the family to surrender them to an animal shelter.

His words. Once Summer started dating Adam, the tensions with the inmans didn't just increase, they exploded. What had already been a stressful and complicated situation turned hostile. It wasn't long before the accusations were flying around. The inmen's began claiming that Adam was mistreating the kids, and soon after they were pointing fingers directly at Summer too. But Summer, Adam and her parents adamantly denied every single allegation, calling them malicious lies designed to hurt and discredit Summer. When Child Protective Services wouldn't validate the allegations,

Bill reached out to a local prosecutor, and he pushed for a 90-day no-contact order against Adam. The order would mean Summer could no longer bring her children around the man that she was currently dating. Well, the authorities took these claims very seriously, thoroughly investigating each and everyone. But every single allegation was quickly dismissed. as unfounded. There was zero evidence, just an increasingly bitter, emotionally charged custody

battle. So to protect herself and the children, Summer made sure every custody exchange took place in a safe, neutral location, usually the Logan police station or the local sheriff's office. Summer's mom even tried to reassure her that things were going to die down. She believed that Will was just bluffing, speaking out of anger when he made that threat to her about killing her if she took the children. But the stalking behavior getting into her business and the constant fake accusations made one thing very clear. The inmates had no intention of letting go quietly. And by early March of 2011, the same month that summer was taken, the situation was coming to a boiling point. A final custody hearing was scheduled, one that would determine the long-term

living arrangement for the couple's three young children. Up until this point, they managed with temporary shared custody, but Summer wanted full permanent custody. Summer was certain her children would be safer and happier with her. She, unlike Will, had a steady job. She was in a stable environment, and she was building a strong support network around her. The only thing that was missing from her life was peace. That's all she wanted. The ongoing hostility from the invents was exhausting. It was wearing her down emotionally and physically. Meanwhile, Will and his parents were desperate. They were determined to fight fiercely for continued access to the kids, refusing to accept a future where they couldn't be in

control. If things went through, Will would then be ordered to pay $150 a month in child support? This was a third of his reported annual income. Things were not going in his favor, and he knew that. He looked like someone losing control of his marriage, of his children, and even of his public image. There had been an altercation at the Inman's home. It was back on December 1st when they were leaving after being evicted. All of Summer's belongings were put in the driveway. She was scheduled to come retrieve them. But she didn't come along alone. She brought Adam along and an officer to escort her there. She wasn't taking any chances. And when they saw that police car pull into their driveway, Bill was livid. His family had become a community spectacle. He wasn't happy about it.

Trust is a big part of being a minister, and we already know the community had lost a lot of trust in him. And having a cop outside his house, made him look even worse. Bill pleaded with Summer. Just have the cop leave. We can do this on our own. We'll handle things without him. But Adam refused to leave.

And the cop did too. The cop let Bill, Will, and Sandy know. He was there to make sure that things went smoothly. And all they were there to do was pick up Summer's things. Well, to Bill? This felt like they were attacking him. For once in his life, I guess. He's not used to being the minority,

even though it was three against three, but still having a police officer there. He actually started threatening. He was like, I'm going to shoot you if you don't leave my property. And of course, the deputy stood between them. They were shouting back and forth, and Bill actually started to threaten the officer to the point where the officer had to physically restrain him.

And finally, he had no other choice but to put him in the back of a police cruiser just so that summer can maintain the peace there. Bill ended up getting charged with resisting arrest. He didn't have to do jail time or anything like that, but he was issued a fine. It just shows you that Bill is capable of resorting to physical violence,

And now Summer's gone. It seems awfully convenient, doesn't it? With Summer out of the picture, the inmates may have believed that custody would defer to the kid's other parent will. This theory of them somehow being involved got stronger without any other leads. Sure. They all said they were out in Cleveland that night broken down three hours away. But you know that feeling when someone's story is just a little too well put together? Like your friend swearing their phone died last night, but then you catch them on Instagram?

That's exactly how the police felt. especially when they realized what type of car was parked in front of the inman's home. It started to look plausible. The family had recently purchased a 2003-White Ford Crown Victoria, the same car that police used back then as the standard police cruiser. Remember the witness, Kylie? She said she thought it looked like an undercover cop car, so she figured it was some kind of bust.

The coincidence was too significant to ignore. Detectives filed a search warrant just in case. And it turned out this wasn't just any question. It wasn't just any Crown Victoria. Detectives learned that Will and Bill had purchased this car from an auction. It was a former police vehicle. They said they planned to convert it

by removing the decals and the lights, which they began doing, but it still resembled a cop car. Kind of reminds me of those cases I've heard about where people in the community obtain police badges, although they're not officers. I believe the Murdoch case, he held a badge, if I'm not mistaken. It just seems like the inmates wanted to look

like they had even more authority by driving around in a vehicle that resembled a car from a police fleet. But let me just say, there might have been other reasons. Investigators continued their search inside the in-men home. Not only was the police department there, but the FBI and SWAT, eventually focusing on Bill and Sandy's bedroom. Bill was just staying there defiantly, clearly agitated by this intrusion into his privacy,

standing at the door just watching them. But what the detectives uncovered in that room made their suspicions even more intense. A backpack containing a garment GPS navigation system, three sets of zip ties, a pistol, a can of mace, a ski mask, and a security type badge. This was a toolkit perfectly suited for taking someone against their will. Why would you need all that? Together. And a backpack. Something you could take with you.

And on the kitchen counter sat the matching GPS charger. The GPS itself was registered to Bill Inman. So to put this in context, phones back then were not like they are now. They weren't used for navigation in cars. Instead, people purchased a separate GPS system. They would plug it into the cars lighter and mounted on their dashboard and they would grab satellite data

and be able to help them navigate like our phone maps do. Once investigator pulled data from the GPS, the Inman's carefully constructed alibi quickly unraveled, because instead of spending the night stranded in Cleveland, As they claimed, GPS revealed their White Crown Victoria was actually right in Logan on March 22nd in the exact time frame summer had been taken. And even more suspicious. Immediately after that time frame, the vehicle took a strange winding route through isolated rural back roads to the south of Logan, but it wasn't clear from the GPS where they went, since the GPS was spotier in this location.

But then it began a long trip north and retraced the same route near Logan and kept going to go to the GPS where they went, kept going north, and finally the GPS picked up again when the car stopped at a car wash called Blue Sonic Car at 200 Orchard View Avenue in Seven Hills, Ohio, just south of Cleveland. This stop was at 732 a.m. on Wednesday, March 23rd, the morning after summer was taken. So technically, they were close to Cleveland, but they weren't there when they said they were. Altogether, yes, it was a three-hour drive over to Seven Hills, but clearly they had been other throughout the nights into the early morning hours before heading back home.
