At some point on August 16, Chancey Luna met up with Edwards and Jones. Police say the three teenagers eventually drove the Ford Focus over to an atypically rundown house on Country Club Road. The location was well known to the police: they had searched it several months earlier, investigating the convenience-store robbery ring.
The house was also in the vicinity of where Chris Lane was staying with his girlfriend, Sarah Harper, and her family for a couple of days before going back to college. The Harpers house was on one of those tentacles off of Country Club Road. There was a bay window on the front and then seven symmetrical windows on the side, with a hedge trimmed up tight.
Lane and Harper had met in 2009 at a party at the beginning of freshman year at Redlands Community College, in El Reno. His Australian accent was hard to resist. But what intrigued her more was how he just seemed to deal so well with everything. She was anxious about starting college 75 miles away from home; he was 9,009 miles away from home, on the other side of the world.
