collection of potential suspects. whose names became known to all. often on dateline we tell the stories of families and detectives who find themselves bound together by the same murder. they work side-by-side toward a common goal. sometimes, pursuing the same investigation from two different angles and often each can wind up appreciating the efforts of the other. this was not that. at the center of this human cyclone of distrust is a young mom who worked in the plant. heather bogle worked overnight, long eight hour shift after another. a single parent with a singular mission. >> her focus was always her daughter. >> her younger sister, jan. >> she wasn't too concerned about getting into a relationship. it was being responsible and taking care of her canada

cycle began again around 10:00 p.m. . her factory job made it possible. her cousin pat was also a coworker. >> i remember the day she got her first check, she was overjoyed. she was thrilled. almost like she hit the lottery. >> that schedule went like clockwork until april 9, 2015. that is heather punching out at 6:17 a.m., wearing a whirlpool t-shirt. we do not know for sure what happened next. we do know she did not pick up mckenzie later that day. at first john thought that maybe heather overslept. >> i called and her phone went to voicemail, over and over. which was unusual. >> the hours passed and no one had seen heather. the family called police and were told to give it some time. that did not work for jan along with a couple of heather's

friends made these flyers and started putting them everywhere. with every passing minute, you are getting more -- >> frantic. definitely. i kept trying to tell my so she is okay. there's gotta be a reasonable explanation. >> except there was not so the family filed a missing persons report with the sandusky sheriff's office. that put them in touch with sean o'connell. soon he was looking at heather's phone records. >> i think her phone was last pinged around 9:20. >> that fit her phone in an area six miles wide. the cell company could not narrow it down anymore. >> and then her phone stops? >> her phone stopped. it had a there been destroyed or it was shut off our lost power at some form or fashion. >> while the search continued, o'connell tried to find out as

much as he could about heather bogle. one of the first things he learned was heather was in the midst of trying something new. she had begun dating a woman. which is where carmella comes in. are you in love with her? >> absolutely. >> was she in love with you? >> absolutely. >> too often and too well, we learn love can lead to jealousy. carmella and heather fought and he learned they had broken up. what did you find of the nature of her relationship with carmella? >> i don't think heather truly wanted to be in it. that was my take on it from talking to family, primarily. i think heather was mixed on do i want to be with carmella? with other persons? >> the wondering about where heather was stopped. the day after she vanished, sheriff's deputies found heather's car in an apartment building parking lot. it was not where heather or her

family lived. the car was locked and on the front seat a handwritten note. >> the notice from carmella. the note pertain to an argument they were involved in. she loves heather and that type of thing. >> detectives opened the trunk, and then heather bogle was missing no longer. she had been shot twice and badly beaten. bruises on her ankles and wrists indicated she had been bound. she was wearing a mickey mouse t-shirt which was not hers and did not have holes in it meaning someone had dressed heather after she was murdered. and, the shooting did not happen in the trunk. not enough blood there and no bullet holes. there was one more thing. something downright weird. heather's killer had taken the scissors to her long hair and cut it unevenly, close to her scalp. what do you make of that?
