Ashley Flowers circles back to Mystery Man and the complicated evidence surrounding his identity. Two composite sketches exist: the first, done from Grandma Vicky's description in 2019, was not widely circulated; the second, produced in 2023 from Brittany's cousin's description, was the one investigators appeared to put more confidence in. Ashley notes the sketches aren't wildly different. Some people have speculated the description could fit Sheldon, but Grandma definitively rules that out. More intriguingly, some in the case's orbit have wondered whether Eric Schenck — whose appearance had reportedly changed dramatically in the time he and Brittany were separated, likely due to drug use — could be the mystery man. The December 2018 body cam footage is one of the clearest views of Eric from around that time, and Brit Prawat notices something about his sideburns. But a full beard and glasses don't fit the description well, and Eric's alibi — while dependent on Ashley's account — accounts for the relevant window. Ashley Flowers ultimately concludes it probably wasn't Eric, but makes clear that conclusion rests on trusting a woman whose credibility is already in question.
Brittany's father was told by the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Office that both Ashley Huley and Eric Schenck passed polygraph tests. Ashley told Crime Junkie's reporter she was pre-screened for over three hours but never actually hooked up to the machine. These accounts are mutually exclusive — and no one can explain the discrepancy.
