Mitch returns from work early that evening, surprised that Jill&#8217;s car isn&#8217;t in the garage. But her voice on the answering machine makes him smile. &#8220;Hey, babe, I&#8217;m just now checking out of the hotel, but I&#8217;ll stop and pick up something for dinner. Love you.&#8221; Hours later, Jill still hasn&#8217;t returned, and Mitch&#8217;s irritation turns to dread. <BR> <BR>When the police come up empty, Mitch enlists the help of their next-door neighbor, Jill&#8217;s best friend, Shelley, to help search.
