onion. i know she was going to the red onion. i never went there with her so i don t know what she was like. then that night in march. kids off to bed. mike junior was just a boy. 10 years old. i had just got a new stereo for my tenth birthday and i was listening to the headphones. from his bed, he could see something happening out in the hallway. i remember them getting into an argument, which was unusual. because they just didn t. not that i knew of. i remember her marching past and going out the front door and slamming the door. you heard the slam. i heard the slam of the front door. i know that. and the next morning. we got up and she wasn t there. mike senior told carol s dad that carol had demanded he sign papers to sell their house and he didn t want to and she got mad and he went to bed and when he woke up in the morning she was just gone. so we just assumed she needed
significant. so the case went back into the file and got colder. mike took over the house-painting business from carol s dad and went on to marry carrie and have two more sons. gail and teri raised their own families, and it was having babies that started to change terri s way of looking at her sister s disappearance. as unhappy as you might be in your life, you might leave your husband, you d take your kids with you. and so when you began to suspect that she wouldn t leave her children, what did that mean to you? that something happened to her. in 1996, 15 years since they heard from carol, the police came around again. this time they scanned the lubans back yard with ground penetrating radar, even dug up the ground. didn t find a thing. funny thing, though, about four
1981. coming up, a dramatic turn in the case, and fresh heartbreak for carol s family. another nightmare on top of the first nightmare. ahh. brain freeze! no, it s my teeth. new crest gum and sensitivity starts treating sensitivity immediately, at the gum line, for relief within days and wraps your teeth in sensitivity protection. ohh. your teeth? no, it s brain freeze! crest.
instead, they decided to gamble. mike was a nice guy. the jury should see that. do you solemnly swear if the details had been a little different each time he was asked to tell the story, here was his chance to straighten it out for the jury. how odd then that mike, under oath now, amended his story just a little again. like when he added the detail that carol was in the bathtub when she said something mean to him. she said, you make my skin crawl. also slightly different, the way he discovered she was gone. i opened the front door and went out, and the garage door was open, and the car was gone. in earlier versions, didn t mike say he heard the garage door go up and saw taillights as carol drove away? why had his story changed again? what s the deal with that? did you hear the garage door? i don t think so. why do you think that now? what has jogged your memory?
murder cases we get, we get cases where the husband finds out that his wife is cheating on him and kills her. so it had nothing to do with that. did you catch what mike said? it had nothing to do with that ? lewen did. when you look at sentence structure and how people talk and communicate, it wasn t about that, what is the it ? the. you gave that great significance, didn t you? absolutely. they kept at mike. at one point it seemed to them he was on the verge of confessing. listening, watching the last few days or something to think about all of that i ll come back. when he came back, he didn t give them anything, and they were back where they started. suspicion, sure, but no evidence of a crime, no way to even prove carol was dead. jim wallace was a detective who finally hit on an idea. to use a tool that didn t even exist when carol luban fought her husband on a march night in
