What he tried to explain it away with is that the FBI joined the case and they wanted to get a fresh look at the crime scene themselves, which is certainly a natural thing.

You know, that was a mistake.

It's a Monday morning quarterback, as he said, but they definitely should have held that scene.

That was the very first thought that came to my mind when I heard that comment is that there must have been some kind of image or video included in that ransom note.

And what Savannah was expressing is, hey, we need more, we need real proof of life, which in today's day and age with AI and the ability for deep fakes is gonna have to be closely coordinated with the FBI

to have some kind of two-way live video call, maybe on an encrypted channel that the FBI creates.

So the ransom note that was distributed to the media did make a demand for 5 p.m.

today.

And if a transfer wasn't made, then I think a second demand was for next Monday.

We're not going to go beyond that.

But that was the ransom note the media received.

This is, um, very concerning to us.

Uh, we don't typically, you don't typically get the sheriff out at a scene like this, um, but it's very concerning from the house.

And so we'll just continue, um,

The detectives, their homicide team is out right now looking at the scene as well.

You know, I don't want to get into those details.

I would just tell you that it's certainly a grave concern to us, just what we see there, and we'll continue to look.

No, I hope it's not.

I hope we find her.

I hope we find her safe and sound.
