and then the weirdest thing happened. we found out that just about as quick as we were putting posters up, they were being taken down. taken down by someone who didn t want teresa s killer found, she presumed. and a dark thought crystallized in reba s mind. was it scott? he never acted like a grieving husband. if he had, i wouldn t have had these thoughts. so your thoughts actually increased over the course of the time that you were with him? yes. but you know what they say about assumptions. it wasn t scott. me and my brothers took them down. at first, i was okay with it. but once they put the posters up and everywhere i went, i saw my mother s face, it drove me crazy, it broke my heart seeing her face splattered all over the pictures. so expectations faded again. a couple more months went by and then a girl who knew kelsey heard a strange little story. overheard it actually.
i was very scared when she didn t come home. and i pretty much knew in my heart that something was wrong. the next morning, said kelsey, she woke up in a house x that no longer felt like home. she called her grandmother reba at her home in prattville, a town two hours away. she said is mama down there at your house? i said no, hon., she s not here.d and she said, mama didn t come home last night. what was going on in here? i m just turning upside down. you know, i m just tied in a knot. reba called teresa s younger sister ashley at her office at the local circuit court. mama called me up. she said teresa is missing. i said let me make some phone calls.et right away ashley called the sheriff of her town and he called the sheriff of ellis. his response to me was it s bad.
