After separating from her partner, Echo Lloyd relocates 16 miles away to rural Edwards, Missouri. The area is secluded. Her daughter, Kelsey Smith, mentions that Echo treasures the serene environment and starts making plans for renovations, tidying up the garden, and selecting colors for painting the house.
For Mother’s Day, Kelsey visits her mother’s residence with gifts. Echo’s car is absent from the driveway. Kelsey leaves a purple potted plant and a card, requesting Echo to call upon receiving the gifts. Echo never reaches out. After a week of no communication, Kelsey goes back.
The effort to find Echo Lloyd commences promptly when she doesn’t respond to knocks on the door. Kelsey circles the house, knocking on both the front and back doors, but receives no reply. Echo’s car has appeared in the driveway. As she surveys the ground, Kelsey calls out for her mother, yet hears nothing. She observes a cracked window at the back, managing to slide it open just enough to climb inside.
Inside, Kelsey finds the home in disarray, which is unusual. Echo, who had OCD, kept everything in place. Her purse is under the nightstand with her wallet and ID inside. However, her car keys, pistol, and medications are missing. Kelsey reports her mother missing.
