Mindy's House

You conclude that the best course of action would be to make your way to the place most likely related to her disappearance. You put all other appointments for the day on hold immediately, pack your things and jump in the car. The house isn't too far from your office, right at the inner edge of the suburbs. A picture perfect image of a middle-class household home, pristine white paint on the outer facade and the property's fence, cleanly cut artificial grass, obscenely large for the state of the economy. It looks like it was cut right out of a cartoon of the nuclear family from the fifties.

George's car is thankfully not parked in front. You're able to recall that he does have a dayjob as an accountant for a small bookkeeping firm, no doubt to launder his less acceptable income. That means you practically have free entry to the residence. You already have a spare key for emergencies thanks to Mindy's foresight, so it's no hassle to make your way inside. You adjust the beige hem of your oversized trenchcoat, put on a pair of gloves and put the key in the lock.
The interior turns out to be almost frustratingly mundane. Everything smells nice and normal, looks orderly and normal. It is downright eerie. The place definitely still gets cleaned on the regular, whether by the family or a hired maid you can't say. The furniture is drab and in some cases almost offensive to your eye with how outdated the style is, but most importantly no immediate signs of Mindy. Even with proper cleanup there would be some signs of a fight left if something like that had happened.

You make your way from room to room. Living Room to bathroom to kitchen but you don't notice anything noteworthy, until you take a look at the fridge. It's seemingly innocuous and wouldn't stand out in any other household, if not for one tiny detail. The calendar pinned to the front by a bunch of magnets. BOVIUM Brand. Nothing out of the ordinary, most might say, but you remember word for word that Mindy told you she threw out all BOVIUM Merchandise when she cut ties with the company. That alone is hint enough for you that George might have done something, but it's not enough to actually incriminate him, let alone figure out Mindy's fate.

There's still the basement and the upstairs-bedroom to explore. The former is locked and your key does not fit, so you will have to pick it or break the door down. The bedroom on the other hand is freely available.
