Based on only the reporting that I have read/posted in here (I think I have included all articles) , and a look at CL's arrest history which is very public
Smart Search - OREGON JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT - Online Records Search, just search by his name, here's my working theory:
TL reconnected with her estranged husband sometime this fall unbeknownst to her family. I believe they had a no contact order, based off of CL's arrest history. Someone was living at TL's house, when police showed up at the welfare check on January 8th, and fled. LE reported the back door was open, all the lights were on etc. LE made contact with CL at 1am on January 9th, the articles didn't say where, but I am assuming LE noticed the house was not abandoned and staked it out. CL told LE Tiffany talked about moving to Washington. Tiffany's car, cat, clothes etc, were observed still in her home. LE have lost contact with CL. During the KOIN News video, it appears LE are treating her home/car as crime scene.
I'm afraid CL has had a long time to clean up. Definitely hoping, I am completely wrong and Tiffany is hanging out with a friend in Washington and found safe!
