ABC15 Investigator Melissa Blasius has built a reputation for asking tough questions and taking action on behalf of Arizona families.

GILBERT, AZ — From an Alaskan jail cell, a Gilbert mom is coming to grips with the fact her belief the world was ending last weekend was wrong, according to recorded court proceedings.

ABC15 obtained audio recordings from the fugitives' first court appearance Saturday from a Fairbanks, Alaska, jail facility.But her husband, Ben Thibaudeau, was allowed to speak to the judge by phone. Ben had filed for divorce earlier this month and requested emergency full custody of their son Blaze last week after he disappeared. Ben had flown to Fairbanks to reunite with the teen."She's a very spiritual person; she just took it a little bit too far," Ben said.

"She assumes the end of the world was going to happen this weekend, and obviously it's not," Ben said."So they're all realizing that they've got to go back and reassess things that they've been reading." The Alaskan judge held firm on a $500,000 bond for both defendants saying the circumstances of the case presented a big concern.
