Disappeared Season 5 - Sign of Trouble (Bob Harrod)
Clip (3:23) Posted 4/26/12
(transcribed below)
Narrator: But Jeff was not the only person at Bobs house that day. Agnes, Bobs housekeeper of more than 10 years, arrived around Noon. Normally, she cleans Bobs house on Tuesday, but this week shed arranged to come on Monday.
Agnes: And he said that will be fine, I will be here, and Jeff is coming and hes gonna to take care of a couple of things in the house before Fontelle comes. So I went to the house, knocked on the door, nobody answered, I looked in the mailbox because thats where he normally leaves me the key, the key wasnt there, so I sat on the bench in front of the house.
Narrator: The situation made her very uneasy. Nothing like this had ever happened before.
Agnes: Bob always was home when I went over there, or if, him and Georgia, they would always always tell me if they would not be home, and they put a key in the mailbox. But it was a very rare occasion that they were not home.
Narrator: After about 15 minutes, Jeff drove up to the house.
Agnes: I told him right away that, you know, that where Bob is, because hes not answering the door. And Jeff was just asking me, Are you supposed to be here today? I said, Yeah, Bob knew that Im coming today.
Narrator: Agnes was surprised to hear that Bob didnt tell Jeff that she would be coming that day. As Jeff let her in the house, she began to feel that something was very wrong.
Agnes: I was really concerned at that point, I was afraid to go upstairs, I didnt want to find anything. So I asked Jeff if he would go upstairs and see if Bob was there.
Narrator: Agnes waited at the bottom of the stairs while Jeff went up to have a look around.
Agnes: I thought hes just going to look into the room, it takes a minute to go up, look into the room, and just see if Bob was there or not. But he actually ended up spending a couple of minutes there, so I thought maybe, you know, he find something, he find him there or something. So I yelled up, I said, Is he there, is he ok? And he said, No, hes not here. And then he came back.
Narrator: Uncertain about what to do next, Agnes began cleaning, while Jeff resumed his repairs. As she worked her way around the house, she noticed something disturbing.
Agnes: When I went upstairs, I saw that in his bedroom, the bed was unmade, and never in the 10 years I worked for them, that happened before. It was just so out of character for him to not to make the bed, I just thought it was very strange.
Narrator: Deeply troubled, Agnes finished up and left, shortly after Jeff, who had also completed his work.
Agnes: I was there all together about 3 hours. I can honestly tell you that during the whole time I was there, I was very concerned. I kept thinking, where is he at?
