On Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera was released by Salem police due to insufficient evidence in a kidnapping case. Speculation now points to him in the vanishing of Vivian Alamain and Ivan Marais in Alamania. Andrew Donovan informed Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera and Leo Stark of the duo's disappearance after they headed to a cemetery.
EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) faced questioning from District Attorney Belle Black (Martha Madison) over kidnappings linked to Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark). Belle expressed frustration at releasing EJ, her ex, without charges. During interrogation, EJ called Rita, prompting questions about hidden activities, including a secret lab experiment on his sister Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford). Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) discovered an empty pod in the lab, once used for Lexie, heightening scrutiny. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) worked to conceal details of Dimitri's kidnapping from him. Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) revealed to Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) that Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera) vanished en route to a cemetery in Alamania. Leo had been nearby in disguise. The ISA suspects foul play, with evidence like DNA at a site Dimitri claims held him captive, though it only confirms his presence. EJ's ties to multiple plots, including Dimitri's abduction with Gwen and issues involving Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) and Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey), fuel theories. Rita, a loyal DiMera operative, is speculated to have arranged the Alamania snatch on EJ's behalf, possibly stashing Vivian and Ivan in the DiMera crypt as revenge for prior schemes against EJ's family. Dimitri aims to clear his name from the DiMera kidnappings and Vivian's disappearance.
