As the investigation progressed, Lorraine’s son Anthony became a prime suspect in her disappearance. Anthony, a war veteran who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, was suspected of the crime after illegally trying to sell his mother’s house.
Investigators were told that Lorraine had recently raised concerns about her son’s mistreatment. According to a neighbor, Lorraine claimed Anthony locked her in her bedroom and took away her phone and bank card. When investigators searched Lorraine’s home, they found it smelled of bleach and later discovered an air mattress that appeared to have blood on it. Despite the suspicious results, investigators managed to locate Lorraine, who confirmed that she had left home voluntarily and refused to contact anyone in her family.
