That is the kind of small town. I mean, there's literally, I think, one traffic light, or at least there was when we were there. This was one of the few places that we've been at Dateline. They were not glad to see us in Eclectic. We were in the town cafe, the coffee shop where everybody meets, and we were talking to somebody there.

And the people at the next table heard it, and they went to the manager, and the manager came over and said, I want you guys to leave. That's unusual, because generally... Yeah, when we're in a small, any town, when we're in a small town, generally people, sometimes they know why you're there, but they don't necessarily want you out of there.

Right. And I think that's exactly what it was. I mean, I think this is anguish for everybody because no matter what you believe, right, Michael and April were vital members of that community. And I think what they were probably saying to us is, you know, we miss them. We respect them. We don't want to talk about this.

You know, he was very forthright. His demeanor with me was not tremendously different from his demeanor with the cops. You know, he said, yes, sir, and no, sir. He was looking at me. He was paying attention. He wasn't looking down. He wasn't mumbling. He was ready for whatever came. And again, remember,

Your attorney may tell you to talk to police or not, but you're certainly not required to talk with reporters. But he did. And that earned him some points with me because I asked him all the questions that you'd want to ask. Like, you know, what's the story here? And he he was pretty good about that.

I think they were convinced, not because they believed Madison, but because they knew what Michael and April were going through. And they probably had... sort of a ringside seat to what was happening in that marriage in a way that Madison wouldn't have. Sure.

I mean, they weren't very familiar, it seems. No. No, that's why I thought this really had to do with, not with knowing Madison, but with seeing whatever they saw in that marriage and hearing whatever they had heard.

It was a fight for her life that April eventually lost the next day. She was alive, I think, when she went to the hospital. But 24 hours later, I don't think she was.
