But things went wrong in September, when the store brought goods for the next Christmas season. The store’s general manager, Mike Sida, said that the turmoil may have prompted Frances to search for comfort elsewhere.

After store employees did not see Frances for a few days, they reviewed the previous observation video. There were glimpses of it in the devices department and then the receipt department, where it went to a truck. After that, a manager was seen throughout the night closing the truck door and setting off from Garssburg, about 85 miles (137 km) to the south.
