I just didn't know what to do except pray. 205 00:12:58,125 --> 00:13:02,333 I literally turned to God and said, God, please help us. 206 00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:04,417 Please bring them back safely. 207 00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,750 (tense music) 208 00:13:16,125 --> 00:13:19,042 -

When Jonathan, my grandson, was three weeks old, 214 00:13:37,333 --> 00:13:40,833 that's when she developed the multiple sclerosis. 215 00:13:40,917 --> 00:13:43,333 Wendy could not walk or anything. 216 00:13:44,875 --> 00:13:46,292 -

[Narrator] But Wendy's family is grateful 225 00:14:18,583 --> 00:14:19,958 when Chad's mother Beverly 226 00:14:20,042 --> 00:14:23,208 steps in to help him care for the new baby. 227 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,667 - We did reach out to Beverly 228 00:14:27,792 --> 00:14:30,208 and ask if she would take care of Jonathan. 229 00:14:31,458 --> 00:14:32,833 Beverly loved Wendy. 230 00:14:34,458 --> 00:14:36,208 It was a big relief. 231 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,708 Beverly was awesome. 232 00:14:38,875 --> 00:14:40,500 Everything is gonna be great. 233 00:14:45,958 --> 00:14:47,958 - When Wendy was recovering, 234 00:14:48,042 --> 00:14:50,708 she reached out to Chad 235 00:14:50,875 --> 00:14:54,708 to get visitation with Jonathan. 236 00:14:54,833 --> 00:14:57,250 At first, the visitation went fine, 237 00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:01,250 but then ultimately ended up in the courts. 238 00:15:03,292 --> 00:15:07,542 - Chad wanted custody of Jonathan, 239 00:15:07,667 --> 00:15:10,417 and Wendy had wanted custody, 240 00:15:11,708 --> 00:15:13,542 and so they were fighting over him. 241 00:15:19,625 --> 00:15:22,667 - We consider Chad as a suspect 242 00:15:22,792 --> 00:15:25,667 because of the custody battle, 243 00:15:25,833 --> 00:15:30,625 him being angry over it, and then he sets up the meeting, 244 00:15:30,708 --> 00:15:33,000 which leads to their disappearance. 245 00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:38,000 - Chad Noe was interviewed numerous times. 246 00:15:39,125 --> 00:15:42,333 Chad's story matches up with Leon's story, 247 00:15:42,417 --> 00:15:44,417 and with a lot of what Beverly said. 248 00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:51,042 - We did a search of Chad's house looking for evidence. 249 00:15:52,333 --> 00:15:54,458 However, we did not find anything. 250 00:15:57,292 --> 00:16:00,167 - Chad was never ruled completely out, 251 00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:03,167 but Chad Noe did not become the focus of this investigation. 252 00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:10,042 - [Narrator] All the interviews and searches lead nowhere. 253 00:16:11,167 --> 00:16:12,292 - It was good investigative work, 254 00:16:12,375 --> 00:16:14,625 there just wasn't a lot to go on. 255 00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:18,458 - It was very frustrating because we could not develop 256 00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:21,625 any evidence that could tell us what had happened. 257 00:16:23,208 --> 00:16:25,542 - When you get to the point where you have no more leads, 258 00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:26,833 it consumes you. 259 00:16:26,917 --> 00:16:28,375 You lie awake at night thinking about it. 260 00:16:28,542 --> 00:16:29,333 What else can I do? 261 00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:34,083 - I decided that I'm not gonna give up hope, 262 00:16:35,208 --> 00:16:37,958 but I'll never forget what my mom said to me. 263 00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:42,000 She said, I'm telling you right now that they're dead. 264 00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:43,958 I, I know that they're dead. 265 00:16:53,167 --> 00:16:55,333 (somber instrumental music) 266 00:16:58,958 --> 00:17:00,167 - Personally, it bothered me 267 00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:03,333 that we could not find Lisa and Wendy, 268 00:17:03,458 --> 00:17:05,125 because of her medical condition, 269 00:17:05,208 --> 00:17:07,833 and especially because of Cynthia. 270 00:17:07,917 --> 00:17:10,708 Nobody wants to see a child go missing. 271 00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:24,542 - I didn't know if somebody had gotten them 272 00:17:24,708 --> 00:17:25,750 from the parking lot. 273 00:17:27,333 --> 00:17:29,750 Unfortunately, the parking lot didn't have cameras. 274 00:17:29,875 --> 00:17:32,750 - I think the investigators did look into the possibility 275 00:17:32,875 --> 00:17:38,000 they were abducted from the mall or on the way to a phone. 276 00:17:38,125 --> 00:17:41,792 Tragically, I've covered cases where that has happened. 277 00:17:44,208 --> 00:17:46,125 - [Narrator] Then a possible lead comes in 278 00:17:46,208 --> 00:17:49,542 from neighboring Missouri, an apparent abduction. 279 00:17:51,167 --> 00:17:54,292 - There had been some women go missing in Missouri 280 00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:58,125 under similar circumstances. 281 00:17:58,250 --> 00:18:01,208 - Three hours away, in Springfield, Missouri, 282 00:18:01,375 --> 00:18:04,958 there was a mother and daughter that went missing 283 00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:08,042 along with the daughter's 18-year-old friend. 284 00:18:09,375 --> 00:18:12,000 - You don't see three women disappear in Oklahoma, 285 00:18:12,167 --> 00:18:13,375 and then the next month, 286 00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,833 three other women disappear in Missouri. 287 00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:21,333 Their stuff was still in their house. 288 00:18:21,417 --> 00:18:24,208 Their cars were in their driveway, 289 00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:27,125 and they vanished out of thin air too, 290 00:18:27,208 --> 00:18:31,417 just like our mother and daughter and Lisa did. 291 00:18:32,542 --> 00:18:35,958 They weren't living a high risk lifestyle. 292 00:18:36,083 --> 00:18:37,667 There really was no reason 293 00:18:37,792 --> 00:18:41,333 that they should have gone missing whatsoever. 294 00:18:46,208 --> 00:18:48,542 - I contacted the investigator, 295 00:18:48,667 --> 00:18:53,333 and we compared the the specifics of his case, 296 00:18:53,417 --> 00:18:56,708 and we just could not make a connection. 297 00:18:58,583 --> 00:19:02,167 - They could not find any evidence linking these women. 298 00:19:02,292 --> 00:19:04,333 Just all six women disappeared 299 00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,750 under suspicious circumstances. 300 00:19:08,083 --> 00:19:09,875 - Random abductions do happen. 301 00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:15,333 This is before cell phones, and it was a big mystery. 302 00:19:16,417 --> 00:19:18,500 It was a terrible tragedy. 303 00:19:22,083 --> 00:19:24,583 - [Narrator] The family's fear and pain grow 304 00:19:24,708 --> 00:19:26,125 with each passing day. 305 00:19:29,333 --> 00:19:33,833 - We prayed that as an innocent little child, 306 00:19:33,917 --> 00:19:35,917 that maybe Cynthia survived. 307 00:19:38,792 --> 00:19:41,042 Please, Lord, please 308 00:19:41,167 --> 00:19:44,792 at least let my little granddaughter be alive. 309 00:19:47,917 --> 00:19:48,667 I'm sorry. 310 00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:57,000 -

[Narrator] A year and a half after the disappearance, 321 00:20:45,958 --> 00:20:49,667 the TV show, Unsolved Mysteries, features the case. 322 00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:54,625 Oddly enough, it is one of Wendy's favorite programs. 323 00:20:55,958 --> 00:20:58,833 - Back in the day when Unsolved Mysteries just came out, 324 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,708 Wendy was an avid, avid buff. 325 00:21:02,792 --> 00:21:04,000 How excited we would get 326 00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:07,833 watching Unsolved Mysteries back in the early 90's. 327 00:21:10,042 --> 00:21:12,875 - The OSBI decided to reach out to Unsolved Mysteries 328 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,917 because maybe somebody would see the show, recognize them, 329 00:21:18,958 --> 00:21:20,708 and we could find them that way. 330 00:21:22,292 --> 00:21:24,708 - They came out and did the interview, 331 00:21:24,875 --> 00:21:29,667 and we felt that that could help solve the case. 332 00:21:32,167 --> 00:21:33,375 - [Narrator] Something about the program 333 00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,625 stands out to Wendy's sister. 334 00:21:37,042 --> 00:21:39,833 In an interview, Ida Pruitt, Beverly Noe's mother, 335 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,500 strongly denies she or Chad Noe 336 00:21:42,625 --> 00:21:45,250 had anything to do with the disappearance. 337 00:21:46,125 --> 00:21:48,500 - Why would Ida get so upset 338 00:21:48,625 --> 00:21:51,500 and claim on the Unsolved Mysteries segment, 339 00:21:51,667 --> 00:21:55,958 that my sister was gripin' and a bitchin' about the past? 340 00:21:57,125 --> 00:21:59,708 Her remarks do not make sense, 341 00:21:59,833 --> 00:22:03,000 because my sister was struggling with memory. 342 00:22:04,625 --> 00:22:07,500 I knew right then and there when I heard that statement 343 00:22:07,625 --> 00:22:11,708 on the Unsolved Mysteries episode, that it was false. 344 00:22:11,833 --> 00:22:13,917 I knew that the family was involved. 345 00:22:21,167 --> 00:22:22,583 (somber music) 346 00:22:27,208 --> 00:22:30,958 When the Unsolved Mysteries episode aired, 347 00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:32,875 that's when the OSBI were saying 348 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,708 that the facts didn't line up. 349 00:22:36,458 --> 00:22:39,042 Now, Beverly came out as the strong suspect, 350 00:22:39,208 --> 00:22:40,958 the last person seen with them, 351 00:22:42,542 --> 00:22:44,708 but I thought so highly of her. 352 00:22:45,708 --> 00:22:47,583 Did Beverly really do this? 353 00:22:51,167 --> 00:22:53,750 (tense music) 354 00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:57,958 - At first, 355 00:22:58,083 --> 00:23:00,750 they did have to take Beverly's statement at face value, 356 00:23:00,875 --> 00:23:04,125 but at the same time, things didn't really add up. 357 00:23:05,708 --> 00:23:09,250 -
