Like a lot of towns, Epsom, New Hampshire has one of those unofficial community-wide Facebook groups.
Posts about the upcoming softball game, a local author festival, someone giving away a free pile of wooden pallets left over from a maple syrup evaporator project.
And when Jay Hickey went missing, the group was a place where people shared their concerns about his well-being.
One question a lot of people seem to have, where was the rest of Jay's family? He and Patty had five children between the two of them.
Yeah, I know that kind of made me mad because people don't understand and they're just thinking, oh, the family doesn't care.
Well, that's not true.
Like, they don't know the whole story.
Emily told me the thing people in the more epsom-y than ever group don't understand is that there was a whole other side to Patty.
It was weird because then when it would be like anybody else around, she was like the nicest person.
And I'm just thinking, like, you have no idea what it's really like at home.
And they both backed up the broad strokes of what you're about to hear from Emily.
