After 18-year-old Caleb Ray Diehl disappeared from Nocona, Texas, one person, and one person only, began an attempt to steer the missing person investigation in a particular way. Only, this individual – close family friend Ricky Dale Howard – was a terrible director whose statements and actions were far-fetched and downright bizarre. Though he tried to make Caleb’s family and law enforcement investigators believe Caleb Diehl had left of his own free will and didn’t necessarily want to be found, not a soul was buying it. Upon further investigation into this man, police uncovered a dark and depraved secret that had been the subject of whispers throughout Montague county and the surrounding areas for years.
