I mean, have people offered to tell you, you know, either information about the case or where they thought Morgan was in exchange for a couple of dollars?

Sue, you hired a private investigator.

One of the things, you know, I always tell people, like, there's a lot of things that are portrayed on TV, particularly in TV dramas, not on programs like Dateline, but in TV dramas that are not actually true.

But one of the things that I've always thought is kind of accurate is the way that the relationship between private investigators and police.

is portrayed, which is frequently law enforcement is not interested in hearing from PIs, from people who came up with information that they personally did not come up with.

Nan, you're nodding.

Yeah.

Raven, what do you tell families?

I mean, is there a playbook for this?

Families being seen makes a big difference, doesn't it?

And you want them in front of the camera and a lot of times not necessarily the police department.

Yeah.

Well, let me ask all of you, what is it you...

What is it you need, a detective or an advocate or anybody who's dealing with this to sort of understand about your experience?

There's kind of a belief there.

on the part of the public, which I've found is hard to change, which is that if that person did anything that they view as having put themselves in harm's way, it's a way to kind of write it off, right?

She went out at night alone in her car.

She didn't have enough gas.

Like, what do you think was going to happen?

And if I'm careful, my family and I don't really have anything to worry about.
