What led to the discovery and investigation of Stacy Powell's murder case?

The investigation into Stacy Powell's murder began when the 48-year-old mother from Auburndale, Florida failed to log into her work computer for two consecutive days. Her concerned colleagues contacted police last Thursday, prompting a welfare check at her residence. When officers arrived at Powell's home, they encountered a handyman who reported that both Stacy and her boyfriend Andrew Ridgeway were absent. However, the situation took a suspicious turn when Ridgeway called the handyman after observing the police presence through the home's security cameras, indicating he was actively monitoring the property. This initial welfare check ultimately uncovered a web of deception involving Ridgeway, who falsely claimed Powell was overseas. The investigation revealed domestic violence elements and led to Ridgeway's arrest in Georgia while driving Powell's truck, where he was charged with second-degree murder.
