He becomes the primary suspect and is asked not to leave town. A few weeks later, Dusty suddenly disappears from the face of the earth. No one seems to know anything on his whereabouts. Another week later, Dusty arrives at Lily Snyder's house and drops a moment away from death on her doorway. He reveals that Winston Mayer did this to him. Dusty is brought to the hospital, where he talks to Margo Hughes. He explains that Winston is the one who killed Cheri Love and then framed him. Since Dusty was getting too close to the truth, Winston decided he had to get rid of Dusty as well.
It is then revealed that Cheri Love's real name was Charlene Wilson, the separated wife of Winston and the mother of Noah, their son. Winston banned Charlene out of his life when Noah was three years and demanded her to stay away from them from now on. Charlene wasn't aware that Noah now lived in Oakdale, too. Winston felt like she broke her promise, so he killed her.
Noah is informed of the death of his mother and is shocked to hear that he saw his mother that night, during her fight with Dusty. He's even more shocked to learn that it was his own father who was her murderer. He bans his father out of his life and grieves over his mother death, even though he didn't know her.
Charlene returned in a vision, visiting her children, Noah, letting them know that everything was going to be okay.
