Fast.

By the time, which is honestly a good thing.

Good, yeah, that it got leveled this high.

Yeah.

By the time Ken Kilroy and his partner Oren Neck got in touch with George Govito, several calls had already been made to the Cameron County Sheriff's Department and a large team of law enforcement officials was assembled to search for Mark.

At the same time, Mark's father, Jim, was on his way to Brownsville to help in the search however he could.

Covito remembered later about Mark's father.

He came into the sheriff's office and he never left the sheriff's office.

He was there for 30 days.

Each single day, Saturdays and Sundays too, he begged me to help him look for his son.

Oh my God, that just destroys my heart.

I know.

That's a parent right there.

That's a full-blown parent.

The problem was, while Gavito and the rest of the investigators assigned to the case obviously desperately wanted to find Mark Kilroy, they had no evidence and there were no leads to work with.

And even if they did have those leads and did have that evidence, none of them had jurisdiction to launch an investigation in Mexico.

Yeah.

So that's really, really complicated things.

And you're not thinking that as a 21 year old on spring break crossing over the border.

No.
