The cleaning company not only cooperated with the investigation, but helped in Oxley’s arrest.

“Was I angry at the cleaning company? No, because it could have been anybody,” said Denyse Seibel.

The Seibels had photographs of some of the items stolen, as well as receipts, and turned those over to detectives.
