Katie Ferguson and Adam Aviles have been involved in a relationship for several years, they share two daughters. When Katie and Adam separate, Adam stays in Cody, Oklahoma.  Katie and the girls move-in with Katie Ferguson's mother, Mona Hartling, in Dothan, Alabama.  
After spending the summer with her mother, Katie Ferguson reaches out to her ex- Adam Aviles. She wants the girls to have time with their dad. Katie Ferguson tells her family that Adam has really "grown-up" since they have been apart. Adam starts the round trip drive from Wyoming.
On their drive back, Aviles, Ferguson, and their girls, draw the attention of local police. They are sitting in a parking lot with the front passenger door open on their Dodge Durango. A Trumann, Arkansas Police officer asks how they are doing. Katie Ferguson tells the officer they are a bit tired, but fine.
Four days later, the Dodge Durango, with Adam Aviles behind the wheel, is captured by a Texas DPS patrol camera. Two things are noticeably different from the police encounter in Arkansas.  Katie Ferguson is not in the vehicle and, there is a projectile hole in the front passenger door concealed with tape. 
Where is Katie?
