search warrant in hand. the apartment didn t appear to be a place where a murder was committed. it didn t. but the apartment was telling to me about the people who lived there. we didn t know much about them but it was almost like an apartment divided. the part of the apartment that was lesley s, for example, was very orderly and put together. then there was a room that was lyle s and it was like a tornado had been through it. but still no sign of a struggle? no. no blood. no visible blood. the only thing that caught my attention
investigation moved forward, i knew that we were expected to find it there. three more days passed. an instant in hollywood. an eternity for aasha and her family. then the bolo got a hit. lyle herring had been stopped at the mexican border. not fleeing but returning to the united states. the detectives dropped everything and headed south. you don t want to wait until the next day. oh, no. our spidy senses were up thinking something could be awry. we needed to get down there and talk to him. and we needed to find put to lesley was with him. if not, where is she? and what does he know? finally the detectives heard a story from lyle that explained just about everything. he confirmed what his mother-in-law had told the cops. that he and lesley had been fighting that weekend. they d been fighting a lot but this time he said was different. lesley had apparently had about enough of him and lyle said when he woke up in their apartment that sunday morning, lesley was gone. did she jus
what it is. they could have both taken off. i don t know these people. they live a pretty isolated lifestyle. but from the things i ve found so far, it seems suspicious. gable checked hospitals, coroner s offices and the highway patrol and came up with exactly nothing. he put out a bolo, be on the look out for, asking police throughout southern california to look for lesley and lyle herring. and he brought cousin malcolm in to hear firsthand about lyle s strange behavior. most of the family is telling you the relationship between lyle and lesley is terrific. malcolm is the only one that sends up a red flag. based on the previous days after she was missing, yes. whatever had happened was beginning to feel like foul play. gable knew he had to move fast. so at 3:00 a. m., some 11 hours after first meeting aasha, they were in the herring condo,
listening to us, please come home. let us know what s going on. then it was aasha s turn it is very unusual for her to not be in touch with her family. she is a creature of habit. this is why her disappearance is so alarming to us. for aasha the actress, this day played out more strangely than any script she had ever followed. the press conference was really difficult because it was the first time i would see lyle since it happened. how did you not run up to him and start shaking him? to me, approach everything with love i didn t think shaking him would get an answer. i hugged him like i always do when i see him. that didn t work either? no. she did not run away. unlike his sister, aasha and lesley s brother did not approach lyle with love. i would like you, lyle, to tell me what s going on here. we came a long way to know what s going on. this is killing our family. through it all stood lyle herring. either a husband
made it just about impossible. i did not sleep at all. it was like such an it was like such an amalgamation of sadness and fear and love and excitement. what kept us going was the baby. a new life is always a reason for hope. the situation with lesley and lyle both missing was leaving the family feeling hopeless. so they called the lapd. aasha and jesse couldn t get into the herring condo but police could. officers went inside and found nothing that looked unusual. they also found no lyle and no lesley. aasha worked the phones, friends and relatives knew nothing. then she reached lyle s boss who said he hadn t heard from lesley but he thought he had seen lyle on tuesday which was the day after lesley missed work. no less confused, aasha decided it was time to file miss thing persons report. we went to the police station and we gave them a picture of lesley and the guy.
