"Mr. Haskins, we found Ms. Mia's phone by the roadside, but there's no sign of her."

That was when Fitch ordered a comprehensive search for Mia's whereabouts. Half an hour later, surveillance footage landed on his

desk.

The video revealed Mia's altercation with Zoey in the mall, followed by Mia slapping Belinda twice.

"Not yet. That woman's house is empty, and there were a few outgoing calls on Ms. Haskins's phone. She seems to have tried
