The Door Unlocked, the Window Wide Open
Their parents, Donald and Beverly, told the girls to go back to their room – that she would be fine. Little did they know that it would be the last time they would ever see Ann Marie. In the morning, at about 5:30 a.m., Beverly went into the girls’ room and saw that Ann Marie wasn’t in her bed. Bizarrely, there was no sign of a struggle.
Beverly remembered that she had locked and chained the front door (as usual) the night before, which is why she couldn’t understand why the front door was now unlocked from the inside and left slightly open. She also noticed that the living room window was wide open.
