Melissa Pena paged her daughter from work at noon. She did not want to do so any earlier because she knew Elizabeth and Jennifer liked to sleep late during the summer. She did not get an immediate callback, so she assumed they were still asleep.

By 2:00 P.M., Randy Ertman had become even more frantic. He jumped back into his vehicle and drove over to the Silver Creek Apartments to find Gina Escamilla. She was not home from summer school just yet, but he did speak with her mother. As Randy spoke, Gina arrived.

“Have you seen Jennifer?” Randy asked the young girl without so much as a hello.

“Not today, Mr. Ertman,” she replied, a bit stunned by the tone of his voice.

“Have you talked to Jennifer or Elizabeth?” Randy barked at Gina. “Have you seen them?”

Gina had never seen Jennifer’s father act this way. To Gina, Randy Ertman looked “scared, nervous, and worried.” She replied she had not seen them since late the night before. “Let me page them,” she suggested. She dialed the girls’ pagers and left messages, but never received any callbacks. Gina then told Randy that she would call some of their mutual friends to find out if any of them had seen the girls.

None of them had seen Jennifer or Elizabeth.

Randy started to get even more visibly upset. He asked Gina to come with him to the Pena house. She agreed and they took off for the short distance. On the way over, Gina told Randy she had seen his daughter around 10:45 P.M. and that she and Elizabeth were walking home to Elizabeth’s house. She assumed they were spending the night there.

Randy pulled in front of the Pena home for the third time.

“I want you to show me which room is Elizabeth’s,” Randy said to Gina.

She walked around to the back of the house and pointed out Elizabeth’s window. “It’s that one right there, Mr. Ertman.”

Randy startled Gina as he banged on Elizabeth’s window “like a madman.” He seemed crazed. He began running around the house and banging on every window again and screaming for someone to come outside.

“Mr. Ertman, I think the neighbors are going to call the police,” Gina tried to warn him. Indeed, some of them stepped outside their homes to see what all the commotion was about. They wanted to know who he was and why he was banging on the Penas’ windows.

Randy ignored the neighbors and told Gina to come with him. He took her back to her apartment, dropped her off, and then drove back home to his wife.

Sandra Ertman was unable to sit still. She located her daughter’s phone book. Inside were three handwritten pages with phone numbers for more than sixty friends. She began to call as many of them as she could. Many did not answer. Some went to answering machines. The people she did get through to had neither seen nor heard from Jennifer. Instead of easing her nerves, the phone calls only made her more anxious.
