Brent Christensen

But obviously he wasn't done with those thoughts.

The intern did flag Christensen's case, and two specialized university counselors met with him.

They offered Christensen different treatment options, including a follow-up visit, but he never showed up.

It certainly raises questions about whether or not somebody should have done something more with this information.

Could they have prevented this murder if they had just gone public with this information?

I'm angry that it could have been prevented, that it wasn't necessary.

Just 11 weeks prior to Yingying's disappearance, Brent had sought counseling with the school.

I know it's a sensitive one, but... That's really all I can say about it, yeah.

You can't talk about that at all?

Yeah, sorry.

I don't think they can deny liability, the counseling center and their staff.

The counselors are trying to dismiss the suit, saying that their actions did not put Yingying in danger.

The university recently sent us a statement saying it will defend the social workers named in the civil suit and that it's confident they followed best practices in mental health care.

After everything that has happened, after all of the courtroom action, despite the lawsuit, this is the evening, despite Kristen being locked up for life, the family wants a traditional Chinese burial.

Brent right now in prison, he knows everything about the family wanting one thing in their life to bring peace to this crisis.

They want to find the body of their daughter.

Would he?

Would you ask him to do so?

Right now he's been told not to.

By whom?
