Late in the afternoon on June 10th, Deputy Alex Able and Detectess Chouy and Maxwell

pulled up to a house in the town of Millersburg about 18 miles from Apple Creek.

The facade was neat and well maintained. Trim Shrubbs folded up lawn chairs and stacked

firewood gave the home a lived-in feel. A powerboat took up part of the driveway.

It had been eight hectic days since the detectives first saw a barb was dead body.

Now they were walking up the drive to Barb Raibers front door, search warrants in hand.

They knocked on the door once, twice, three times, but there was no answer.

Several minutes passed before Barb came to the door. Her small frame barely felt the doorway,

so the detectives were able to take a quick peek behind her. And what they saw made them pause.

Every surface was covered in stuff. Toys, clothes, small appliances, things kind of

disappeared in the clutter that filled her home.

By all accounts, Barb was a hoarder. The mess inside her home seemed to mirror her own

inner turmoil.

interviews, we learned about Barbara and Eli's relationship from an innocent perspective.

Finally, Eli's former lover, Sherry, helped the police by recording her cold conversation with

Eli while Tabitha divulged information about her calls with Barb.
