Anthony says, that girl.

The hope is that this will get Liam to talk about Sarah.

Liam pauses.

Liam doesn't want to talk about it on the phone, but Anthony presses on.

He doesn't elaborate, and this time, Anthony backs off.

For a second, the two envision what their future in Hollywood could look like.

Anthony jokes that Liam will be his Leonardo DiCaprio.

They say in two years, they'll make the move.

Liam breaks from the daydream to ask Anthony when he's free.

He wants to meet up.

So before the two hang up, they make tentative plans for later that week.

Assistant prosecutor Chris Decker says they didn't get a confession, but it was a start.

According to investigators, shortly after the two got off the phone, Leah messaged Anthony and detectives saw an opportunity to meet that night.

Anthony told him that he found someone in Neptune who could sell him a new camera, so he'll be in town that evening.

Once again, Liam said he can't loan Anthony the money.

He said, quote, my cash is low quality.

They wouldn't take it.

You understand how serious my situation is.

I can't say anything on my phone.

They settled on a time and place, 11 p.m., Bradley Beach, a Jersey Shore town just east of Neptune, a face-to-face meeting between two friends, and investigators are ready to record every word.
