with investigative steps of going and conducting interviews, of reviewing any available data to prepare for that interview.

So there's a lot of steps in between there.

I don't want people to think that just because we get a hit that this is the person.

The only thing we can say for sure is if the DNA that was found in the house, and we don't know if that's the DNA of the suspect, we just know it's an unknown DNA.

If it's compared to the DNA from this glove,

That gives us another avenue to start looking further, like, okay, this likely was the glove that was worn when this person entered the house.

This is likely the DNA.

Hopefully we get a hit with a name on it that this individual, especially if they're doing something like this, like going into this house to take a person out of it, they've likely been involved in some type of illegal activity before, which may give us an opportunity to have collection of evidence such as fingerprints, DNA, things like that.

Often these cases get broken open from something very small that balloons out.

So let's say we get a hit on the DNA and it turns out to be a person that has a long criminal history of activity in that area.

Now you're going to see a massive move of investigators going out to conduct interviews, to go to locations, known locations that this individual may have been.

You're going to see things ramp up really, really fast.

Right now, I think that the biggest issue that we have, and I hate to say this, it's a leadership issue.

at this crime scene.

I know that from my friends on the ground there, that the working relationship between the street agents, the FBI agents that are working this case and some of the middle executives

And the people, the investigators, the officers and stuff with the sheriff's department, police department, they're doing really, really well.

The problem that we have right now is there appears to be some type of leadership issue with who's making the decisions on where things are going to go.

I know if I'm that sheriff and I've got the full resources of the FBI, I'm going to take use of those resources of the FBI.

It's really going to speed things up.
