They played music together, talked about movies.

Anthony told officers that about a week before Sarah went missing, he had a conversation with Liam, a conversation that he thought they needed to know about.

Anthony said he stopped by Liam's house at around 11 o'clock on the night of Thanksgiving to hang out and play video games.

He said Liam told him he'd been drinking throughout the day, so by the time Anthony came over, he said Liam was a little drunk.

Anthony told police it was just the two of them.

Liam's roommate, Preston Taylor, wasn't home.

Anthony said they sat on bar stools in Liam's kitchen, cracked open a couple beers, and started talking.

Anthony said it wasn't unusual for Liam to pitch him movie ideas.

That girl was Sarah Stern.

According to Anthony, Liam told him Sarah found a huge amount of cash, about $50,000.

So Liam said he was going to her house to help Sarah count the money.

Anthony noticed how amped up Liam was getting as he kept talking.

Then Liam told Anthony how the movie ends.

Detective Weisbrot again.

It was a bombshell allegation.

Anthony was telling investigators that Liam talked about killing Sarah.

Liam, Sarah's childhood friend, who'd been searching for Sarah and cooperated with police, who'd given police an alibi for the time Sarah was killed.

Before Anthony could fully process what he just heard, he told police Liam laughed and said, wouldn't this be a great idea for a movie?

So Anthony shrugged it all off.

Besides, he thought Liam was drunk and that this was just another one of Liam's horror movie pitches.
