With the number of rumors that circulate this case, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Seemingly credible leads soon turn into conspiracy theories. When one follows these leads out, they soon have numerous people involved either in the abduction or the cover up, and the people supposedly involved include the family and law enforcement. If you believe some of these theories, half of the city of Milan is involved.   I’m not saying that it is only one person responsible, but my gut is telling me that it is fewer people, not more, who are involved in this.    To me, nailing down the timeline of the night in question is the key to this. If we take into account the way Cindy and Steve have said they found the house that night, that leaves a two, two and a half hour window for this to have happened.   Unless this was a random abduction, then someone knew she would be at that house alone. But no one believes this was a random abduction. That is the only thing that everyone can agree on. And here’s the thing: It has been stated that Cayce stayed at the church longer than others because she was helping clean up. So it wasn’t like it was set in stone as to exactly what time she would be home. That’s why the alleged phone call from the church is so wildly important in my mind.   Also, if Cindy and Steve were out that night, it’s not as if there would be a concrete time that they would have gotten home either. So it was either random good luck for her abductor to strike when she was home alone, or it was someone who was around that night.   That should narrow down the list of people, instead of expanding it like these conspiracy theories do.   So the details of the night of August 16th into the early morning of the 17th are of the utmost importance. And the people who know these details aren’t willing to talk to me.   I’m Brandon Barnett. And this is Searching For Ghosts.     Last episode, Cayce’s aunt Pam mentioned this:   This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this alleged truck in the driveway. Cindy McDaniel in the August 15, 1997 edition of The Jackson Sun:   QUOTE: “And I told them about an anonymous phone call about a truck seen in the driveway that night around 12:30 a.m. I guess they’re investigating this, I don’t know.” UNQUOTE     If there is one person who is more frustrated with the amount of conspiracies floating around and the lack of people coming forward with legitimate information in this case, it is Lucas, Cayce’s cousin.   Lucas has already been helping me behind the scenes throughout this podcast. He was the one trying to connect me with Cindy.  We’ve tried floating different trial balloons with this podcast to get people to come forward. We’ve shied away from talking about certain things in order to give people an opportunity to speak first.    But now, we’re going to take it up a notch. When Pam mentioned the eyewitness account of the truck in Cayce’s driveway that night, that, in my mind, set us on the path of another possible scenario with someone other than Mr. X. This is a path that Lucas and I have hesitated to go down…until now. According to my sources, this is the path that  Cindy was trying to get law enforcement to look into from day one.   The alleged truck in the driveway possibly leads to another house, which leads to a couple of different people, neither of whom is Mr. X. It leads to a lesser mentioned name…Mr. Y
