Disappearance On Sunday, February 7, 1999, Paul's mother Sharon received a phone call from Donovan claiming that Paul had not arrived home that day from a job he had scheduled with his employee and co-worker, Lorenzo DeShawn Chivers.

On February 13, a friend of Paul's, Rich Lesmeister, received a phone call from Donovan notifying him that Paul, Sarah, and Lorenzo were missing; he stated this was the first he had been made aware of their disappearances. That afternoon, Lesmeister and his wife, Carol, met with Sharon at the Tuff Movers lot to further investigate the premises themselves; Lesmeister, an auto mechanic, had recently worked on a 1978 Chevrolet moving truck at the lot. He and Carol climbed over the fence, and upon investigating found multiple bullet holes in the side of the truck he had previously been working on. The exterior of the truck also had a bloodstain smeared across it, and a chunk of what
