The video begins on a close-up of Hindley’s face. He describes his near miss attempt at abducting her father, then zooms out to reveal that he is inside Kip’s house. Off-camera, Kip shouts out that he didn’t see Hindley coming. Hindley drops the phone, and Poe hears muffled screaming before Kip goes silent. Hindley picks up the camera and says: “[S]ee you tonight” (333). Poe immediately calls 911.

As Poe and her father sit in the living room, Gadecki calls to inform them that a welfare check found Kip’s apartment empty, with signs of a struggle in the bedroom, but no blood. Kip’s recording equipment is also missing from his office. Gadecki tells Poe that it’s imperative she participate and cooperate during tonight’s live stream, keeping Hindley online for as long as possible so that the police can trace his location.

With 12 hours left before the live stream, Poe’s father tells her to sleep rather than torture herself. He gives her an Ambien, revealing that he has relied on sleeping pills since Margaret’s murder.
