And, i mean, it just comes like a blow. reporter: back in ft. worth, police were still rounding up people gathered outside ashlea s apartment. not among them was april. april, in fact, hadn t seen ashlea for a few days. their romance had hit a bit of a bump. that night we we talked briefly about me coming over after i got off work. but then i went home. reporter: but someone else was there. her name was alexis torres. alexis torres was the last person to see ashlea alive, and was the actual last person to leave her apartment. reporter: that is certainly somebody you d wanna talk to. obviously. yes, sir. reporter: alexis said she and ashlea had gone to an early thanksgiving dinner with friends in ashlea s complex. so you had thanksgiving dinner, and that was i think it was from 12? reporter: sure. and then hung around for the afternoon? yes. reporter: but ashlea had to work that night.
Talked to a neighbor who lived directly below ashlea. he had heard noises, heavy breathing coming from ashlea s apartment just before 8:00 a.m. a few minutes later the fire alarm started goin off. water started comin down into his apartment. reporter: and that s when the neighbor saw a black infiniti g-35 driving away. armed with this new information, cedillo went back to alexis torres. i asked her if she knew anyone or if ashlea knew anyone that drove a infiniti g-35. i never gave her a color. i simply asked her about a g-35. alexis said, no. after he was done asking the questions, i walked outside and sat down on the brick. and i believe it was chris that was there. reporter: that would be chris cravey, ashlea s boss at american eagle. alexis told him that police were asking about an infiniti sedan. and chris made a beeline for detective cedillo.
ashlea s shift was supposed to be from 7:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. and alexis agreed to come over during the time she was working to basically take care of ashlea s dog. reporter: then alexis told the police and later us that she went back one more time after ashlea got home from work. how long did you stay? i stayed for an hour. reporter: that would make it 4:00 a.m. if alexis was telling the truth, the police had the beginning of a timeline. but before they could check her story or anyone else s for that matter, a neighbor gave them even more to work with. an ex-cop named steve lee had noticed something about 6:30 that morning. so you re out here on on the deck having a cigarette. what did you see? saw a vehicle parked there that i d never seen before. reporter: what was that vehicle? it was a black, older infiniti sedan. reporter: to the observant ex-cop that seemed worth noting. did it stay there for a long time? it was there when i left for work at about 7:40.
