What they're saying:
"The insurance adjuster could not determine the cause of the leaks from walking on the roof, so he asked to take a look in the attic. I was with him in the attic as he was looking around when he stepped back onto the ceiling," Merritt said.
"I was obviously shocked when he suddenly disappeared, but I was concerned for his safety," he added.
Merritt had originally installed cameras to monitor the dog sitters while they were on vacation, and forgot the cameras were there until the roof incident.
