The team has been caught up with an alleged theory for a few months now, and they try to work through the likelihood of this theory being true.    Kendra who was the first person who really came forward with the theory, offers insight into what might have occured.  Ash and her team take notes and start picking the theory apart to see if it has any significant evidentiary value.    Ash at a crossroads, chooses to go to the cops, because even though the theory is still alleged, as more people continue to come forward, she feels it is a good time to make sure she gets an audience with the authorities this time.

The Disappearance of Robert Bee True Crime Series | Ep. 14 - The Hunt

We are back with another episode of Ashes to Ash TV, Season 1, The Disappearance of Robert Bee.  In episode 13 we look back toward Kendra's theory about what happened to Bonzai. Our main objective being, that we want to speak to everyone that Kendra mentions.     The crew gets a brief opportunity to message with Teresa Vancil, one of the main people that Kendra allegedly places in the house the night Bonzai was allegedly murdered.     Ash attempts to reach out to the Pekin Police Department, specifically Chief Dossey with the information she has on the case without success.     Ash then takes an anonymous call from someone who claims they have information on what happened to the body after Bonzai was killed.  The team gets a lucky break at this, as the person the source said was involved friend requests Ash, she starts asking him questions to see if the anonymous tip holds any validity.     The team also gets a deeper look into the house that Bonzai was allegedly killed in. If you know of criminal activity involving this case please call your local law enforcement.

In episode 11 we learn a lot more about the hours before Bonzai went missing.  We line up this information with a past interview with Lisa Bee, Bonzai's mother to make sure that the stories are lining up.    The team over at Ashes to Ash had tried to get in touch with Teresa Butts for months.  Teresa is an important part of this puzzle because her and her family may have been some of the last people to see Bonzai alive.  Christopher, Teresa's son, was good friends with Bonzai and Bonzai spent the night at their house a few times a week.    Teresa tells us about Bonzai's last morning, before he went missing.    Then Ash gets a strange message from someone who she has never heard of before.  When she reaches out, she is met with a static phone and broken sentences.  She asks to meet this person.  They agree.
