Well, the famous Margaret Atwood quote that, you know, men are afraid that women will laugh at them and women are afraid that men will kill them, that would fit into so many Dateline stories. I mean, you literally could write that into any one of a number of scripts.
Local law enforcement has said that largely in reaction to the public reaction to the documentary that's out. Many people know little about that case, except they've seen that documentary, which has a point of view. Now there is a considerable groundswell of opinion that evidence in the case should be tested or retested using modern DNA technology, and we'll have to see where that goes.

Well, yeah, testing is not only expensive, which is a concern people don't usually think about, but it also consumes some of the sample. And that can be a problem with investigations going forward.

And the trip back was like two days. And then I was only there like a day and a half, but it turned out to be a pretty interesting story.
