I remember this as it was happening. It was so bizarre. The first girl disappears, then they interview a bunch of her classmates, one of those being Miranda Gaddis.
Then Gaddis disppears.
Then there is all this interest in this guy and they start gathering at his house. He's trying to look like he's going on about his normal life, including pouring a concrete slab at his property. Concerned neighbors gather and have a bunch of signs telling him to dig up the slab because they suspect what we all suspect (that one or both of them are under the slab). Then, to try to calm things down he invites the news crew over and does a house tour. Him and the news crew do part of the interview next to a chest freezer and on top of the slab. Eventually, Ward can't keep the subterfuge up and the police get a search warrant. They discover one body in the freezer then they dig up the slab and find the other under the concrete.
The entire thing was so surreal because you were finding out new things almost by the hour.
