Yep.

Look, you want to ultimately take over that crime scene entirely.

You want to block it off.

You don't want anyone in and out.

And you want to do absolutely everything you can to gather every piece of evidence as quickly as possible, which is really the key here.

You're correct, Nancy.

It's one of them that has come up during the course of this investigation that the lead detective on this case has never, or the person heading up this investigation has not done a homicide investigation.

The most experienced person dealing with this in terms of detectives has two years of experience at the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

Now, thankfully the FBI is involved, but for the first days, Nancy, every decision being made by a detective with

less than two years experience.

Yeah, in this case, the Blackfeet Law Enforcement Services is the tribal law enforcement authority that has jurisdiction in Browning and was immediately handling Ashley's case.

And I know that the family has reported quite a bit of frustration with the feedback and responsiveness that they got after initial searches for Ashley came up blank.

Yeah, and I'll tell you, Nancy, one of the reasons why I personally and everyone on my team

uh spends quite a bit of time uh on interviews and in missing persons cases of anybody who saw uh this person around the time that they went missing the second point is that we spend quite a bit of time going back and asking the same questions again sometimes weeks sometimes months sometimes years later what we're looking for there is any inconsistencies has their story changed

And if so, where did it change?

And, you know, to have this gentleman say there wasn't a party, then there was a party.

She was there.

She wasn't there.

This is a major inconsistency that that should and ought to be looked into further.

Yeah, you've pointed this out, that Payne Lindsey has done the most exhaustive investigation of anybody related to this case, including the Blackfeet Law Enforcement Service and the FBI.
