I from my investigations.

I can't control it.

I don't have gag order power.

And, you know, I can advise someone, please don't talk about this all over Instagram right now and post all these sorts of things because we don't know yet.

And I can't control witnesses in a case, for example, unless, you know, at least some sort of criminal conduct.

But I think that's worth noting because a lot of people say, oh, they're parroting or there is absolute power.

symbiosis or hand in hand and whatever is put out there about this case.

And I think in big cases like this, sometimes it can be just as chaotic as the outside reporting of it.

Julia, your restraint is the responsible reporting that I think we all crave, because it would be so easy to just say what you think, because I know you think something, but you don't.

And that's precisely the point here, because thank you for humanizing all of this.

With all the reporting out there and all the poking and prodding of all the things that are going wrong, you're absolutely right.

There isn't one person working this case who doesn't want it to be solved.

They wouldn't be giving up sleep and time with their families and, you know, living at these intense adrenaline anxiety levels if they didn't believe in what they were doing.

And then to have all of us on top of them nitpicking every last detail is...

People have breaking points, especially when you're 18 days into an investigation.

I mean, that is just nonstop.

You know, there's no closing your laptop at the end of the day.

You dream about it.

You can't sleep at night.

You don't eat well because you probably eat your meals as you're running from call to call, if you even have an appetite.
