And Austin, as you said, is sort of bustling now.

But people really did feel very safe and sort of protected.

And so when this kind of thing happens, it shakes you.

Let's talk about those four girls, Sarah, Jennifer, Eliza, and Amy.

As I said, doing something so innocent.

A couple of the girls worked at the yoga shop.

They're all just there kind of hanging out.

And their lives were viciously cut short.

And I think in some ways that is what haunted this community more than anything else.

I mean, any horrible crime is a horrible crime.

But in this case, young, I mean, basically babies.

Yeah, well, it was in the 90s.

So you come along later on 2017, you join this case.

And as you said, we can talk more later about what you brought to the case from your expertise.

But talk to me a little bit about when you joined the case and what you learned from the families because they had been through the ringer over, you know, more than two decades at that point, almost three decades.

And no answers, really.

I mean, a lot of twists and turns, which we'll get to.

But what what would the families like for you to meet at that time?

Yeah.

Otherwise, you might have been more nervous than you were probably to begin with.
