“They will call and say, ‘when are you going to be doing the Feast of Lanterns at the beach with the pageant and the fireworks?’ And I have to say to them, ‘we aren’t doing it there this year,’” said Renz.

Crow’s first husband, Cody May, revealed new details to Central Coast News about the days leading up to his ex-wife’s disappearance. “She said she was trying to sever the ties,” explained May when questioned about the last time he spoke to Crow.

May said he spoke to her about a month ago. She told him she was going through a messy split with her husband Jesse Crow. “She had left him and was calling me again because every time she was with him I wouldn’t get a call, and when she wasn’t with him I would,” he added.

Jesse Crow has avoided all organized searches for his wife, as well as the media spotlight. Police, however, said he is cooperating with investigators.
