But, you know, I mean, the cool people stopped coming when I moved out.

Let me just say that.

This is a suburban Montgomery County, Maryland, outside Washington, D.C.

And, you know, until...

I actually showed up at the crime scene, which was our first shoot on the first day of shooting for this Dateline story.

It was only then, because Montgomery County is a big place.

It was only when I showed up at the actual scene of the crime that I realized that it was the neighborhood that I had grown up in.

My parents and I moved there in 1964.

And we lived in three different houses, probably within five miles of where this murder happened.

And I probably,

driven by that house or been driven by that house as a kid, like maybe like a thousand times.

I mean, I had friends who lived really within walking distance of there.

Her fire station was our fire station.

Her public library was our public library.

I mean, I've ridden my bike past there all, you know, many, many, many, many years ago.

It was, you know, and also, you know, that part of Montgomery County, you know, it hasn't changed that much.

It was just me and my parents back then.

My brother hadn't been born yet.

I mean, or as my dad referred to it, the good old days, but it was an interesting place to live.

And then later, later, now that we're talking about that, I became a reporter at the local ABC station, WGLA Channel 7.
