I'm not sure. Yeah, because she would have known Morgan all this time, too, since Morgan was 14. It's got to be heartbreaking. I'm glad she spoke, because I think often when we see cases like this, you do think, well, what kind of family did that person come from? And it's clear that she loves her son. Why do you think she spoke to 48 Hours? What did she want to get across?

Boy, she's been through a lot.

Morgan is incredibly courageous telling this story. She does not have to do this. I'm sure she wants to go on with her life. How is Morgan doing right now?

I mean, I could really see her doing it because I thought to myself in the interviews with you that she looks remarkably well for someone who has gone through such trauma. And I think what I saw was strength.

Exactly. It's a good reminder. Do not ignore the little red flags because they can become big red flags. And in this case, she's really lucky to be alive. Very lucky to be alive. Yeah. Well, thank you, both of you, for helping her tell her story. And it's always great having you guys here. Thanks. Thanks, Emery. Thanks. Thanks for having us.

Welcome back to Postmortem. I'm your host, Anne-Marie Green. And today we're discussing the case of Melissa Lamish.

But what's surprising about this is that he's an actual firefighter. And so one would think if anyone would be able to set a fire that would be difficult to investigate, it would be him.

So we know from the hour that the relationship between Melissa and Plody, it wasn't great, but it had never been a real sort of solid relationship anyways. Do we know anything about Melissa's family and Plody, whether they had a relationship?
