So he really was a beacon for a lot of people right there in Oxford.

Right?

You know, it's interesting.

And I thought about this, too.

When I spoke with Jose and Braylon, they talked about the fact that before Jay Lee went missing, there were two murders of –

transgender people there in the state of Mississippi.

And so they were thinking, okay, like what is happening?

Like could this be an attack on the community?

And so it did kind of put a lot of people in this kind of place of just fear and like trying to watch out while at the same time wondering if police were going to do anything about this.

When it comes to emotion, Andrea, you know this.

I mean, when we interview, like, police chiefs, prosecutors, like, all these folks, it's not often that you get to see, like, just true emotion tears from them, right?

But, like, that happened several times when I was speaking with Chief McCutcheon.

Certainly happened when I was talking with Ben Creekmore, the DA.

I mean, they were tearing up thinking about the moment that they found Jaylee's body, the pain that the family went through.

And

And, you know, several things.

One, Oxford is a college town, right?

Like, everything revolves around Ole Miss.

And so you think about, okay, like, either I have college-age kids or my kids will one day be in college.

Or you can kind of just put yourself in this feeling of, oh, my God, I don't know where my child is when they've gone off to college.
