she and her new husband james settled here in riverton, utah, a quiet suburb of salt lake city. annie had james wrapped around her finger. >> i took her with me to help me pick out her mother's valentine's day gift. there was a shoe store right across the way. she had a way with me. she could talk me into just about anything. one of them was her favorite shoes she found, she was so excited about them. they were a red pair of shoes. >> a few weeks later, march 10th, 2012, annie, now 15, was watching her brothers while veronica and james went out for dinner. >> then when we came home, everything seemed the same. i mean, annie had changed from running around the house in shorts to jeans, and i just kind of chalked that up to, okay, she's gotten cold. i had a massive headache i couldn't get rid of, so i went to take a shower. annie had gone downstairs to her room to listen to music. we just figured it was another saturday. >> but it wasn't. when veronica finished her shower, annie was gone. james searched her bedroom. >> the note was tucked underneath her blanket. and i grabbed it.
