Larry Maynard and his family had their own challenges dealing with the swarm of media that surrounded their home. Never in their wildest dreams had any of them ever imagined they would be placed in such a position.

Larry recalled, “There were news vans and satellite trucks all up and down [our] street. The reporters were constantly ringing the door bell, and at first I just told them I wasn’t giving any interviews. After a while I put up a sign, ‘Don’t ring the doorbell or knock. Please respect our privacy.’ It didn’t help. They kept ringing the door bell and asking for interviews anyway.

“Phone calls were coming in from everywhere. Local news stations and national ones. We were even getting calls from overseas. And talk shows were calling as well. The phone wouldn’t stop ringing. We felt like we were trapped in our own house. It was horrible!

“We were hunkered down like prisoners in our own house. We had Sarah back, (she was at home with Larry and his family at that point) and that was great. But we couldn’t stop worrying about Kody, Tina and Stephanie. I could barely eat. I could barely sleep. I’d just go from a daze into kind of half-sleep. Even then, it was mostly just falling into a daze in a chair.”
