What a story. I remember when you came to me about it, and we, you know, Joe Reed, the senior producer, was involved in it, and we were all talking about how bizarre this story was, and also the area, you know, out in this sort of remote part of California.

I mean, it was one of those classics that almost felt like a TV show, right? You've got a couple who seem to have like that great marriage.
