The Search Begins

Police Officer Theresa Barger wanted to find Stephanie immediately. She wanted answers and she wanted it immediately. Roller was alone when she disappeared, but for Badger, that became more of an imperative to locate her, dead or alive, immediately, and to find the answers if and when needed.

Launching and Getting Help

Officer Barger launched a huge massive search effort. The missing mother of three was nowhere to be found and after interviewing Dale Bruner at 10:30 Monday night, Stephanie had been missing for 24 hours already. So, they decided to ask the husband further and they wanted to check on him as well. After all, he was left to take care of three kids by himself.
