Interviews with C1 revealed that they label their food after purchase, and then places the food in the freezer.

Interviews revealed they also had some chicken strips that were in the freezer that also went missing. Interviews with C1 revealed that they believe another client in the facility is stealing and eating their food. Interviews with staff revealed they offered to replace clients food that was missing because they did not want any issues between the clients. Interviews also revealed that someone did eat C1s food out of the deep freezer that is kept in the garage.
