Jo goes to Luther Yount’s house to speak with Callie, Luther’s granddaughter. Callie tells Jo that she has already told Maggie everything she knows about Zoe but reiterates that she met Zoe the previous afternoon when Zoe was practicing free diving (diving without breathing equipment) in the lake. Zoe and Callie then went to the Yount farm to see Callie’s cow, and Luther drove Zoe back around noon. Zoe had her backpack with her and was wearing a red and pink dress. Callie says Zoe seemed happy and that she would not have run away.
Maggie and Declan drive to the spot on the highway where Zoe’s backpack was found. They stop at a restaurant en route and get a copy of its security camera to see who drove by in the time frame when the backpack was discarded. Then, they go to the police department, where Ingrid and Lloyd are already waiting. They hand over the security footage from the restaurant to Jo, who tells them Zoe’s phone has not been active since she disappeared.
Susan is distraught. Brooke comes in to show her a missing person poster the family made of Zoe to assist in the search. Brooke also reminds Susan that Goerge Conover’s memorial service is Thursday.
