How was Laura Rideout arrested along with her sons?

According to the Rochester First Daily, 50-year-old Craig Rideout was found dead in July of 2016. His sister, Robbyn, had reported her brother missing on July 19, 2016, and the very next day, a body was discovered in Jerusalem, Yates County.

Craig's body was found wrapped in a tarpaulin and disfigured by acid, and was identified through dental records, according to ABC 13 WHAM. As the missing case turned into a homicide investigation, the authorities picked up on surveillance footage from roadsides and businesses to find Laura Rideout and her sons, Colin and Alexander, purchasing Liquid Lightning Drain Opener and a square-edged shovel from Walmart stores.

The brothers were caught on camera disposing of trash bags containing drain cleaner, gloves, bloodied clothes, and a homemade garrote in the Mendon Ponds Park pond called Devil's Bathtub. The forensic tests tied the trio to the blood on the clothes.
