Thank you for humanizing that aspect of this and all investigations.

So what does that mean for everyone who, like you said, wants to know?

I follow it.

I definitely follow it.

Yeah, that's great perspective for what it's worth.

I don't think I had a single case file except for maybe like, you know, illegal possession of a handgun where the investigation spanned fewer than 18 days.

It's usually not years.

It's so funny because that's exactly right.

There is a reason, you know, we would usually have cases completely finished.

And the last thing we're waiting on is a cell phone dump or something to do with like a cell phone subpoena because the massive amount of data that we have digitally actually makes it really difficult to be able to turn it over so quickly.

I'm going to play defender slightly.

Devil's advocate.

I'm going to defend her.

I'm going to defend the law enforcement right now.

I agree with the sealing off, but I think this also shows how difficult it is to actually seal off a crime scene in the sense of having this much media doesn't make it any easier to do your job.

Yeah.

Because if someone wants to interfere in some way like that, really, it's only the journalist.

Right.

But it's not like when you have a missing person case like this, you all of a sudden have a Rolodex of all the things that happen at the house and you can call every servicer and say, hey, by the way, it's crime scene.

Don't come.
