Alice's hair, toothbrush and a hoodie she frequently wore was stolen by a witch who was sent to Nina's house by Ben's orders. But the owners were too busy with Alice's departure and Rochelle's death that they didn't notice someone sneaking in.
The witch also eavesdropped on what was going inside the house, and it was all about Alice's departure. "Ali called him" he heard Regina's voice and then all the conversations and plans they had after that.
When he went back to the house where the first specie vampires were staying, he had more than just Alice's things. He had news of her whereabouts and only Ben was available in the house, his brothers went on to find Ali or something that would help them.
"Ben I have news. Where's Matthew?" said the witch, his name was Daniel.
Ben didn't even look at him, he was busy playing pool table "Speak it up D" he said.
